We have already discussed how amazing the experience of video calling on tv is. We also discussed some of the Skype ready television which you can buy (are available in India) and make video calls. Off course that is a very good option, but it make sense only when you are buying a new television.
What if you have an old HDTV (which is not Skype ready) and you still want to make video calls on it. It does make sense because even the Skype ready tv does not have any Camera and Microphone, what they have is just Skype installed on the TV. What if we can have a device which has wifi connectivity, has a camera and microphone and also has Skype installed in it. It is like a Skype Box which I just have to connect to television and I can make skype video calls.
The answer is Yes! We are talking about a smart skype box by Tele labs, named "TelyHD". It is a tely cam which you can connect to hdtv and enjoy the video calls on your sofa.

Amazing product but the only concern is price. For Rs 17000 ($300) it is slightly expensive. But if you are willing to spend that much money, then it is a highly recommended product.
If you already have a Sony Playstation, then you can use it on your TV to make video calls.

If you are willing to spend slightly more than you should consider buying a Skype Ready TV only (Panasonic, Samsung or Sony), it is your choice. Consider ready the review.
