As its Friday your probably looking out the window dreaming of your BBQ tomorrow.

To help take your mind of the mundane issues of work, why not watch a bit of TV. If you do it over Skype then your boss will even think you are working.

I just received word about this web website that streams TV via a Skype video call.

The streaming only lasts for 3 minutes before automatically cutting out, and the TV channels are from Tokyo and Taipei but that’s 3 minutes away from that debugger you have been looking at all morning.

As the website is in Japanese its hard to fathom to much out, but each Skype account has several channels attached which you can change between by sending a chat message.

For example to change to channel 12 you send the message ##12#
To get the channel list you are going to have to visit the webpage, but the instructions are in English.

To give it a go, call the following Skype accounts.
