This will r0x0r your b0x0r's!

http://lifehacker.com/357869/use-your-wii-as-a-media-center

The article explains in several easy steps how to turn your wii into a media center.

I tried it and could not believe how well it works!

Some things you will need:
  • A Wii with wireless access to the internet
  • The latest version for the Wii Opera Browser (You have to buy this $5/£3)
  • A pc to install the Orb Software
So how does it work?
Well I don't know the detail but so far as I can tell the client software you install on your pc stream's media to the Orb server which streams it back to your browser.

I had to unblock some of the ports on my pc's windows firewall to get the streaming to work.

It's early days but so far i'm impressed with the Web UI nice big fonts for the TV and very intuitive I think I have seen the future.
