Sky Player to get Kinect controls

Sky Player on Xbox 360 is to support the Kinect motion sensor, which should mean that shaking your fist at the TV will at last have some effect on what is on screen. Progress!

Sky Player has been streaming movies, sport and lifestyle programming to Xbox 360 consoles for about a year now and we have bee pretty happy with it. Just about the only thing that could make it better is if there was some way we could operate it without having to hunt for a remote or a control pad.

Well, our prayers have been answered. Sky Player is getting Kinect support, so we will soon be able to channel hop just by waving at the screen. Both gesture and voice controls will be supported, and you will be able to play, pause, forward & rewind as well as change channel and select on-demand content all via Kinect.
