I can't find the article I read when I fixed it, but Nintendo mention that channels 1 and 11 are good as they "don't overlap with other channel". There's a bunch of other stuff from them on this page as well: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/onlineWirelessRouterTroubleshooting

Great to know it works well now. It's often the case that changing a setting or two will help many problems, saves buying extra hardware too. Out of interest, is there a feature on the Wii to connect up an external wifi aerial anywhere? I saw they had capability for the old gamecube controllers, n

I would suspect so, as they would likely claim that it is like any number of satellite channels bundled on sky, provided at zero cost, but only available as part of a package which includes other chargeable services. Marketing drones, don't you just love them... From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [

It turns out it isn't the iPlayer but the "higher quality" DVB-T recording that BT offer as part of their package. Although as they have no claim to copyright over them, it a bit hard to understand how they can charge extra for them, for example I couldn't record BBC one off-air, make a +1 of it a

The way I read it was ... They are offering it as part of another service, so they're not charging for the BBC channels, you get those free, if you "buy" this other service. I might be wrong?? Still plenty of loop-holes here to setup a free "BBC+1" if a user subscribes to your "members only web

How about this. If you offered a service that provided the BBC channels with 1/25th of a second delay, a BBC1+1/9 then you could watch the channel without a TV license because the channel would not be 'live', which is the requirement for a TV Licence. Yes, guesswork 2008/6/9 Richard P Ed
