Yes, we got our Wii about a year ago and had to use the points to get the internet channel. Good news they will be refunded!

Opera browser cannot use plug-ins so you cannot get it, its the same with the DSi. Can just be used for basic browsing, banking etc. Hopefully this will change eventually.

Anyone done this thats got homebrew?

As I said before, I would be careful if you run homebrew software from your wii and you want to go online with it. 1 poster on here seemed to disagree with what I was saying, but I have seen many warnings about going online with the wii and automatic updates being forced onto the wii. Also the point they made about NTSC games isn't exactly true, because when new games come out on the wii with updates on them, new software comes up to counter act this. This has recently been the case with games such as Indiana Jones, or the Wii Resort with wii motion plus. The wii motion plus game required new software to be uploaded to the wii, this is possible without using the internet or original game discs etc. All information is freely available on the internet. The impression I got was, the nintendo updates alter the CIOS which are used to allow you to play homebrew, backups, dvds, on your wii. The main reason for updates seems to be to stop people using homebrew etc, but if nintendo let people use the wii to it's full capacity, ie playing dvds, people may stop using homebrew.... Personally I would steer clear of using the internet on your wii if you use homebrew or backups.
