I am seriously over Skype. We spent quite a bit of cash on two (Samsung) TV's to use for videoconferencing between offices, and used the Skype "app" in the TV successfully for a while, and it was good. But microsoft pulling support means I have my nose out of joint with samsung over it. (who ever thought apps in a TV were a good idea...) But I really liked the TV's for doing that, and I would like to keep using them. But now I need something to run another app, that can use the TV's as a display. Really liked the look of the "Ring" application Peter pointed out a while back. But I don't want to dedicate a PC to running it. I would like something low power that I can just attach to the back of the TV. Has anybody had any experience with doing this? (Pi maybe? Never used one myself)
