Skype during rental movies and Pause TV

While you are watching a rental movie from a broadcaster or video store, or using Pause TV, accepting a Skype call will interrupt the movie or paused programme.

To resume watching the rental movie, you need to go back to the video store or broadcast service. Some video stores and services do not allow you to restart the movie. The Pause TV programme storage is lost.

Skype during recording

While recording a programme on a connected USB Hard Drive, the TV will notify you if there was an incoming call and from who it was. The TV prevents accepting a Skype call during recording. You can easily answer the call from the ê Recent page, after the recording is done.
