Increasing the range of Skype clients and devices your can now connect to by adding the h.264 compatibility necessary to chat with any Skype TV client software.
The Skype TV feature is available on a number of TV sets, manufactured by LG, Samsung and Panasonic with announcements from Sony and Vizio stating they will also be launching Skype TV features on their new HDTV’s later this year.
