In the event of detection of Xbox One were shown interactive television capabilities of new consoles, but without being specified what will Microsoft partners in this area. Now the head of Microsoft Sudios Phil Spencer made it clear that, as far as Europe, an agreement was signed with Sky and Canal + (France).

This means that subscribers Sky can convey their signal decoder through the new console to add extra information and features, many of which have yet to be detailed by Microsoft.

It is however today the news of Microsoft's registration of a patent which involves creating and unlocking even targets for watching TV programmes: for example you could unlock a lens for seeing all the episodes of a series of Game of Thrones , for having participated in a marathon of Star Trek and so on. For now it is only a patent probably signed up for incidentals, and might not even find real-world application.
