Using free Skype video phone for tv troublshooting help.

[ronl]

How's it going Members?
Just curious if anybody else uses free skype vid phone or other vidphone programs for virtual tv troubleshooting help?
I have used skype to help one member over at arf with his vintage tv as well,helped hookup or troubleshooting of friends entertainment system,furnaces,electrical...etc gear.
i find as long as camera is held steady and with good lite,it works well.
especially if both sides of a skype call have schematics and can work a meter/soldering iron,scope...etc

i have even used skype to work on my brothers commercial fishing boat-lol

since i got into electronics in 1970 and became a professional electronic tech in 1981,it was natural for me to focus on audio/video as soon as i got online in 1993! got webcam capability going in 1996.
webcam was rare in 1996 but now skype is very popular and i finally got most of my long distant friends and family on it-saves a LOT of long distance calls on phone! plus ,i hate typing so skype works better for me-ha!

i also discovered a free site a few years ago that allows upto 12 cameras at once. i figure tinychat dot com would be great for arf/ videokarma discussions or demo's.
Cheers.
