Internet Channel

[Fred Derf Veteran]

Okay, so I'm connected through my son's Wii using the Internet Channel at 480p (component cables) and it is all right. I thought there was a charge (500 Wii points?) for the Internet Channel but it came up for free so I downloaded it and added a USB keyboard.

The return key and the Enter key on the numeric keypad both advance the line but I'd like to know how to click OK without reverting back to the WiiMote.

That's about it. It's cool enough but I wonder what it will be like to try and edit this post.

Edit worked fine. It popped up a big keyboard which is a bit annoying considering that I have a USB keyboard and thus won't be using the WiiMote to "type".

Another problem is that something is wrong with my component cables and I'm getting some snow/interferance. The composite 480i cables don't have this problem and I've tried two TVs. I don't see any bite marks from the kitties but one never knows.

Yeah, they offer the channel for free now and gave a free WiiWare-Game to all buyers of the channel (yes it was 500Points)...:)

You can connect any USB-Keyboard to the Wii? Didn't know...:)

Yeah, I plugged in a Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse combo but the mouse didn't do anything. They keyboard does work, however.

I tell you, 720p would be nice for the Internet channel.
