Skype is embedding its service on a bevy of HDTVs, the company said Tuesday, adding that it is supporting high-definition video calls in the 720p HD format on PCs.

With the moves, the free online phone service is aiming to make video conferencing something that can be conducted from the living room while making high-definition connections mainstream.

I don't want my TV to join the "botnet" of skype. If I want VoIP I'll get it from a vendor with documented protocols and not from a vendor that uses anti-debugging features like a botnet does, nor that makes use of P2P networking technology.

Any TV having this feature: I will not buy.
