TV Guide Channel for Wii.

Nintendo recently announced in Japan that a “TV Program Schedule Channel” is in the works for the Wii with a search feature (in which you can search for your favorite TV show etc). Almost nothing is known about this channel or even if it will be available outside of Japan, but it is scheduled to hit the Wii by Spring 2008.

Were getting closer!!! Long time ago I did an Article about dream Wii Channels. Mine was a Trailer Channel for Movies you could stream previews for upcoming Movies and TV Shows.(Mainly Movies.)

What is your Dream Wii Channel?

    Haha, the site’s in Japanese of course!
    Here’s a rough translation by Google:

    I’m still curious about the technical aspect of it. I wonder how it works though. Will be watching TV shows that are streaming using our internet connection? Or will it just pick the Free-To-Air HD channels on DBS (which means requiring satellite)?

    This also sparks the idea of the TV tuner adapter for Nintendo DS. They’re releasing the product in Japan in mid-November.

    I’ll be on the look out when it arrives here, should be soon! December I’m hoping! \:D/

    As long as it provides good and accurate information it’s very welcome :) .

    Yeah Demo’s would rock!

    But my dream channel would be…………also a TV channel.

    But, it won’t be just a search engine. It’ll be like Wii Shopping, but instead o buying games, you buy shows, something like XBL.

    Nah, why buy shows on console when you can download certain programs for free on AOL like NBC network, etc. iTunes double their prices, customers got mad. I’d rather have free-to-air HD instead. I want my G4 TV~!

    Anyway, again, portable TV on Nintendo DS! \:D/
