hey, someone try this out for me and let me know if it works well (video resolution?). i'm not at home right now so i can't do it myself. basically, this is supposed to allow you to stream the above sites through your wii onto your tv. I'm interested because I have to use my laptop for this right now, and it would be easier to just turn on the wii instead.

I doubt the resolution would be a good enough quality to want to watch anything.

The Wii can play dvd's btw. So if it can play dvd's it can defnitely play these streams of video from internet in my opinion.

i installed this program and am running it on my ps3. it's awesome! you can stream tons of stuff straight to the tv. if you have a PS3 or Xbox360, you should definitely use this thing. i don't know about the wii cuz i didn't try it on there

I couldn't get them to work because of the first site's terrible layout (I couldn't find the vid in all of the ads) and the other one's "download".

um, not sure what the problem is. you download the software to a computer in your house that's connected to your network, and then as long as that computer is running w/ this software in the background, you can stream stuff to the PS3 or whatever. make sure you have the media server setting on your PS3 set to on or whatever it is. I downloaded this and had it running in about 5 minutes when I did it.

here's the main page of that site if it helps

ok, i'll try to get around to it on the wii.

i forgot to mention that it's a free trial when you download it. you have to pay to keep using it.

there are other programs like this out there. i saw this in an article on Cnet.com so you might be able to find out more about it if you go there. you can search download.com too and find some more of these.

it's sick man. i just turn on my laptop (wireless) and pull up a menu on the PS3 (wireless) and all the shows are right there w/ pics and show info. everything on hulu, netflix (i have an account), youtube, nbc, etc...

you don't have to connect any wires to the tv or the computer and the resolution is fine w/ my slow internet  Afro

i'm gonna mess w/ it more before i decide if i'm gonna pay for it though.
