Forgotten Sky perk receives mega free upgrade for selected customers – and the kids will love it
SKY has just introduced a little bonus for selected TVs that the kids are sure to enjoy.
Aside from top telly, the broadcaster also provides access to a number of games.
And there’s a little-known accessory that unlocks even more games.
Sky Live is a smart camera built for Sky Glass that was launched last year.
The plug-in device provides access to a load of motion-based games, as well as the ability to watch football matches with friends remotely and do exercises that can detect where you need to improve form.
As they’re motion-based, you don’t need to use a remote control, you just wave your arms and hands about.
Sky has been quietly adding extra content to the service at no extra cost.
Earlier this year, Sky Live customers received a kart-style racing title called Miniacs, followed by Juglr which is described as “body puzzle solving”.
Now, there’s another game added to the mix called Bowling Strike.
You can play on your own or with up to six friends.

What's Sky Live like?
Verdict from Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun
I started using Sky Live last year when it was launched and on several occasions it’s been a real party pleaser.
The karaoke machine is great fun for all.
And the fitness classes are handy for a little home workout.
The addition of big names like Peppa Pig are great for kids too.
Watching sport with friends on Sky Live sounds like a good idea but the other person needs to have Sky Live as well – as yet, none of my friends have it, so this feature feels like a missed opportunity.
It doesn’t come cheap at £6 per month for 48 months or £290 upfront.
At least Sky are adding extra stuff like Juglr to get more for your buck.
