:TAt long last the iplayer is coming back to the wii in time for Christmas. It will have its own channel which can be downloaded for free from the wiishop. Launches on 18th November

Excellent news it was very annoying when iPlayer broke with the recent update, and you could not go back to the old iPlayer.

Remember, the browser is also now free (it was 500 points)

Thanks rosered100 !

Yes it does !

The new iPlayer went live today - I just watched James May Toy Story (Scalextric).

The quality of the picture is fab - much better than the old player. Also, it is now a dedicated player, a standalone Wii Channel on the main menu - again, much better than having to fire up the browser and navigate to it.

To get iPlayer, you must be connected to the internet. Then simply go to the Wii Shop and download the channel - 0 Wii points needed !


Enjoy watching !

If you are one of the ones that paid the 500 points, you can now qualify for a free NES game from the channel as well!
