Using Wii to watch on demand TV

[Delboy]

Hi there,

I would like to watch 4od and ITV Player on the nintendo Wii.

The big issues appear to be compiling version 9 of Flash and installing it on the Wii. And then creating a channel for via Homebrew (then create a WAD)

The other option for the Wii is orb.com, unsure what uk channels I could get on there.

Easiest option is simply to buy an Xbox 360, but would be interestiong to do the Wii option?

Any thoughts on the orb.com option? Can it be used to obtain content from say justin.tv tvcatchup? Or create a wii channel to interface with tvcatchup.com

Thanks
Rod

Couldn't you get a cheap small form factor desktop and and hook it up to the TV and net?

Never tried. The problem with the Wii is that it's not got enough horsepower to do this kinda thing. It struggles to decode stuff over the network for me to be honest.
