I do know that I'm asking dumb question but can you point me where can I find more details about this? :) I'm new in the SmartTV world and making first steps :)

I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

Did you check user manual? http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/conte ... 202827.pdf
It seems to be possible to switch from hospitality to "standalone" mode by pressing MUTE-1-1-9-ENTER (page 23). I don't know what it means exactly but maybe you'll find some other interesting things in manual...

I set it up as a 'standalone' device from the beginning but SmartHub looks like a truncated version. I'm now following instructions pointed by 'sectroyer'. Hope this will work.

Thanks!

No need to follow whole instructions, it is E series rooting procedure and surely it won't work at all on your TV. Sectroyer meant you can just put a widget on an USB key for it to be detected by TV/launched in smarthub. No more :)

No I meant he might try this instructions and see "what happens" ;) Basically he should get not working Skype and not much more :)

Ah ok :D . Worth the try but probably waste of effort as fw is H series(?) T-MST14DEUC. We even don't know if Skype widget is available on that exotic model :)

Skype is available and can even be launched :)

I tried to download RAR archive but download speed was very very slow by that time. Now it's downloading just fine. Will update later tomorrow when I arrive to office.

Update: downloaded RAR file, extracted to the root of USB Disk, Connected to the powered off TV, powered it On but no success :(

Meanwhile I found a company (www.eona.com) that produces IPTV middleware and they seem to have special firmware for that particular modem. Scheduled skype call early tomorrow. Let's see what happens.
