Even though I did report this thread and hopefully it'll get locked before it's full of flames, since this has been asked and answered over and over again, I'm going to be nice and actually answer, somewhat.
You can get "legit official channels". You can manually install the shop channel. You can remove the hacks, upgrade, get the channels, downgrade, re-install, etc. Plenty of options. And you didn't ask, but I'll tell ya: You can play your copied games online too (for now, who knows if Nintendo decides to do something about that).
