- Nintendo Wii
If you were one of the lucky ones who managed to grab a Nintendo Wii for the kids (or yourself) this Christmas, you probably spent the best part of the festivities furiously waggling, shaking and doing all sorts of other strange things with the fantastic Wii Remote controller. But if you are are getting a bit tired of all that now, instead of splashing out on a new game or two, why not use the machine to watch BBC repeats?
You will need:
500 Wii points (you can buy them in games shops, HMV etc.)
A Wii which you have successfully connected to the internet.
Reasonable expectations.
Step One: Visit the Wii Shopping Channel, buy the Wii Internet Channel. This means you can visit basic internet websites by selecting that channel from the Wii menu.
Step Two: Select WWW and type in www.bbc.co.uk/iPlayer. Chose a show and zoom in or out using the plus or minus buttons on your Wii Remote. The video quality isn’t great, for technical reasons on the part of the Wii. But the audio fine which makes it much more paletable. Give it a try!
