Though it is important to not worry about the camera(s), it is always good to keep in mind that unlike theatre, the camera represents a three dimensional scene in a two dimensional space. Because of this, you should avoid looking head-on into the camera or remaining at exactly ninety degrees to it unless you are directed to do so or you are trying to achieve a specific effect. If you should do this at the wrong time, there may be an unintended message communicated to the TV audience which can project a negative or bizarre image of your performance. (Think mug-shot here...)
Remember, in TV the whole audience looks at you through one tiny little spot - the camera lens. They are not spread out across the auditorium as in the theatre.
I would recommend that you experiment with a camcorder to see the effect that different angles of body and head placement have on a video. Try acting the same short scene with several different body and head positions. Then watch the results with an eye towards the first-impression emotional impact of each angle. How does this particular performance make you feel compared to the others? Some fair-minded but brutally honest acting colleagues may be of some assistance in this judgment. Be sure to try this experiment at different framings as well (close-ups, mediums, longs, etc).
Ultimately it is the director's job to tell you what is wanted in a shot but it never hurts to have an idea of what (s)he may be seeing on the monitor.
Good luck!

Just do it, don't try to sell it. The camera sees all and simplicity is more interesting than flash.
