The BBC iPlayer is relaunching on the Nintendo Wii in the form of a dedicated Wii channel on 18 November.

Only consoles with a broadband connection in the UK will be able to run the channel.
To get the service, Wii owners will be able to download it from the console's online shop for free.
The BBC iPlayer has been on the Wii since April 2008 but many console owners reported problems with the original interface.
The iPlayer is also available on Sony's PlayStation 3 console.
The BBC is not the only broadcaster to experience difficulties with bringing its catch-up service to games consoles.
Sky launched the Sky Player on the Xbox 360 in October but Microsoft temporarily suspended the service almost straightaway due to "unprecedented levels of simultaneous demand".
Erik Huggers, direct of Future Media and Technology at the BBC, said that the evolved Wii service was an improvement on the old BBC iPlayer system, describing it as a "faster, high quality and improved viewing experience".
According to research company Chart Track GfK there are almost six million Wii consoles in British homes.
The catch-up radio and television service is also launching in trial, or beta, form on the Freesat TV platform later in November.
British broadcaster Channel 4 has concentrated on making its on-demand service 4OD more accessible on the internet.
In October it announced that it would be showing entire programmes free of charge on YouTube.

That's great news, I'm all for on demand tv, I hate being restricted to viewing my programs when they decide to show it. And not just that but I'm just really useless at remembering to watch things, or being bothered even when it's recorded on series link. So anything that makes your day to day life just that easier is great if you ask me. I was pretty miffed when they updated the flash on the wii browser, only to find that meant I could no longer use iplayer lol.

I think iPlayer depends on your location, so american users would be able to pirate the channel but still not watch it.

The reason is because the BBC is funded through tax. Feel free to come over and and pay tax for owning a TV if you really want to watch it, though.

Might be able to patch it to use a proxy server in the UK.

Proxies don't really work any more for the iPlayer, the BBC got smart. The only thing that still works for me is TOR, and that would be difficult to implement in a Wii channel, methinks.

    I know that any thematic community can be very toxic to new people and will joke about them for any reason.
    But I am like that too, and I can joke too.

    Only I am from another field of activity, in which you do not understand absolutely anything, and there they will laugh at you if you come there for the first time.

    No offense, this is just a response to your jokes :)

    I don't want to bypass your rules on purpose.
    But I don't have the time or desire to make 5 posts on a forum unknown to me just to publish a link to an open source project.
    If you don't need it, just say so.
    I don't need any bypassing of the rules, and I especially don't need jokes at my expense.
    I'll even delete my topic entirely if yo

    @lapot2, not so much trolls as just a little over a half dozen chumps who hang out in here regularly and chitchat about various things. Usually not even gaming lol. Hence it'd probably be better to just get a few posts and interact with the community a little bit so you can share the link directly :)

    The open version, although it does not have many conveniences, but even without them it will be more convenient to work than with any other tools like ch341 and ezp2023.
    Well, the full version is still impossible to get in Europe, so this is not even an advertisement for a paid device)
