But there’s one lesser-known gadget that transforms your telly.
Sky Live is a smart camera especially for Sky Glass that was launched last year.
The plug-in device unlocks 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.
The motion-based content like games don’t require you to use a remote control, you just wave your arms and hands about.

Sky has been quietly adding more content at no extra cost.
Earlier this year, Sky Live customers received a kart-style racing title called Miniacs.
Now another game has landed that challenges people to “body puzzle solving”.
Juglr requires players to bounce items around the screen such as hitting characters into a spotlight or bouncing them on mushrooms.

What’s Sky Live like?
Verdict from Jamie Harris, Senior Technology and Science Reporter 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.
