Nice spot, current temperatures don't seem to work but Today/Tomorrow forecasts do and the UV index is there. Globe looks cool too

Looks nice

Snow-Munki · 19 Dec 2006 at 09:10

no cheltenham though

You can tell it's not working correctly, it's showing sun over Northern Ireland.

Yeah walked through the front room this morning, and noticed that the slot on the Wii was blue. Noticed something was up. Strange how it has DUrham and Newcastle as options, but no Sunderland. Seemed sunny everwhere in the UK when I looked

It is currently 4 degrees and cloudy in the west of Scotland

Seems to be working to me

Oh it's good to hear it's up now. Update time.

Just got the msg now after playing Zelda.
Looks good.
Unfortunatelly the closest to where i live is hole, sorry, i mean Stoke.

It'd have been better if the temp/weather icon displayed on the channel display thing, rarther than having to 'open' it each time. But its a nice feature none the less.

IIRC, the News Channel should be going online mid/late Jan.

mr.sly · 19 Dec 2006 at 14:23

I think I read somewhere the News Channel goes up on the 27th of this month.

Edit: Nope it's the 27th of Jan.

Hmm.
So we get a trial version for free till March, then its 500 Wii points (whats that work out at in £) for the full browser?
Im getting it either way. Dont know why i'd get the browser, and i doubt i'd use it all that much, but its something worth getting anyway.

We already have the ability to email to normal email accounts with it how it is, a web browser is the next step, thats thankfully being taken. After all, that Opera logo on the Wii box cant be there for nothing.
