Hacking Risk to using the Nintendo Channel?

[Tranquil]

I know Nintendo can receive data about the channels you are using when you access the Nintendo Channel, so can't they see that I am using the HBC? Is this a problem and if it is, what can I do about it?

opt in or opt out in the settings of it!!

Nintendo can't do anything about your HBC becuase it doesnt go against your warranty. Its tottaly safe.

Yes, they probably can if it sends that data. However, I doubt that Nintendo will do anything about it. If you are worried about them intentionally bricking your console, that will not happen.

But the problem is that when I start the channel I believe the first thing it does it receive data from me before I have the chance to opt out...

well....when you first get it dosent it say would you like to send data to nintendo and recieve information or sumfin like that? if so just get rid of nintendo channel then re-download it, after all its free!

I don't think it matters. I have the HBC and the Nintendo channel and I've been fine. The weird thing was that when voting for how I like which games I play for more than an hour (I've used hbc for more than an hour), I believe it showed the HBC as a Pyjama Sam Game (which wasn't even out at the time XD)
