IMO, WiiMC is one of the best. I'll post a link below.

Now for the channels..there's two different options. A channel in itself and a forwarding channel. I'd suggest the forwarder channel as it uses less Wii NAND (less blocks) A forwarder channel basically just loads the file off your \apps folder

Google and youtube is your friend.

your on your own finding ROMs on this forum at least, it's against the TOS to post links for them, sorry.
