SOME Sky customers may notice a bonus perk on their TVs this week and it's one the kids are sure to love.
It's the latest upgrade to the broadcasting giant's Sky Live service.
Sky Live uses a camera to transform your TV, allowing you to play motion-based games, watch matches with friends remotely and do exercises that can detect where you need to improve form.
At the end of last year we had the addition of Peppa Pig: Jump, which encourages kids to jump, wiggle, clean and play their way through ten interactive episodes.
There was also Stingray Karaoke which allows you to select from more than 70,000 songs in 25 languages in a bid to work out who can bring harmony to your house - and who can’t - through in a duet face off.
But now there's another game in the mix for kids called Miniacs.
The kart-style racing title challenges players to a series of big mini-worlds.
You can play with anybody online and invite your friends directly to join in the race and compete with up to a mob of four players.
Gamers take control with a motion-controlled sheering wheel in the air.
"Awesome silly fun with this racing kart-style motion game," one player wrote.
Sky Live is an add-on service exclusively for the Sky Glass TV.
It comes in the form of a special plug-in camera which unlocks a number of features, including:
Sky Live starts from £5 per month, paid over 48 months or £10 for 24 months - after that it's yours to keep.
Alternatively you can buy it outright for £242.

In The Sun's review of Sky Live last year, we said:
"There's no doubt that Sky is reinventing the way we watch TV as it has done time and again.
"But Sky Live feels like a very pricey way of going about it.
"Ultimately, it really depends on what / how much you can get out of it.
"If you're looking to do fitness and have some equipment, you could give up the gym entirely in favour of this and it would work out as a saving.
"And the bigger the family, the more you'll get out of it too, with young kids undoubtedly enjoying the high quality games.
"Watch Together seems like a good idea for sports but without friends using Sky Glass and Sky Live for now it's of no use to me.
"Sky is in this for the long ride, already developing new games with partners and refining the technology so it will eventually detect tiny things like finger movements."
