What are Wii channels and how do I use them?

I just connected my Wii to the internet. Can anyone explain Wii channels to me?
Would I have to purchase the Check Mii Out channel, or is it free?

What channels are free?

admin answers:

Wii channels are what you see when you turn on your Wii.
Each little window is a different channel.
If you press [+], you can see that there is a lot more room for channels, so the only boundary in the memory on you Wii.
Channels can consist of news (News Channel, Forecast Channel, Nintendo Channel), games from the Virtual Console, channels that are installed form games (Mario Kart, Animal Crossing), or some odd functionalities (Photo Channel, Mii Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, Check Mii Out! Channel, etc.)
Hope this helps you out.

Wii Channels?

I just got a brand new wii and can’t figure out how to get more wii channels. Your help is appreciated, thanx

admin answers:

Those are taken up by other games purchased on the virtual console for the most part. There is talk of official and 3rd party channels but for now it’s mostly just space for you to play nes, snes, TG-16, n64, genesis, etc games.

How to restore removed original news/forecast wii channels?

I used the homebrew application known as Duplicate Channel Remover. This application is meant to delete any extra news and forecast channels that appear on your wii. But by accident I used the PAL Channel Remover on my JAP Wii and thus lost my original Japanese Wii news and forecast channels.

Since there are no existing WADs for the two channels and because they cannot be downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel, How may i bring back my original News and Forecast Channels?
