FREE!! wii internet channel

ClarenceBeeks

You need the Wii internet channel to watch streaming video on your Wii too e.g. BBC iPlayer or Orb so it's well worth getting. Just search on Google for instructions.

Just installed this for first time. Can see iplayer menus but when I try and watch anything I just get the spinning circle and nothing else.

I thought it was free anyway, but seems you had to download it using wii points previously.

However, you will still need an internet connection at home to access the internet through your wii.

Also, if anybody uses "homebrew" applications to play "backups" be careful you do not do any automatic updates as it may affect your wii!

Nah. You need to let your wii do any automatic updates anyway. Its safer.

Otherwise, if your 'backup' game is an NTSC game, sometimes these have updates on the disk and this will brick your PAL wii.

i noticed this yesterday it was in a message in my inbox on the wii, i was saving up my 500 points to get it now dont need to.

not sure if im right but im sure i read somewhere on here that there are sites you can download games onto your wii if you had the internet channel

anyone shed any light?
