Just call me Reg

youtube on my tube, but still fell a bit short

We gave up our cable tv a few months ago and haven’t missed it much at all (except for the Olympics and a few Jazz playoff games). We have been watching some shows online with a laptop. So I figured I’d add the Opera browser to our wii (for a mere $10) and then we could actually use our big screen tv to watch tv.

I didn’t even think about not being able to install the plug-ins needed to watch the video from cbs, abc, nbc, and the cw. So it was a bit disappointing, but I’m still investigating.  youtube and google video work and there are some places tailored for browsing on the wii:

Apparently the bbc supports it with their iPlayer too
