[QUOTE="shelton2211, post: 52601, member: 585"] Following Satoru Iwata's previous announcement on a new online gift-giving function on the Wii comes another Wii Channel. In a conference in Japan the other day, Nintendo announced a new Wii Channel for their latest home entertainment console. Temporarily nicknamed "The TV Program Schedule Channel" (or at least, as our Google translation says), it will allow users to search for TV shows and check its airtime on the local TV networks. The new feature is scheduled to be released Spring of next year and provided by G-Guide, but aside from this, no other details have been given. Others are hoping that this will eventually lead to some IPTV video recording functionality, but the question is whether the Wii system itself could support the feature. You can probably think of it as a channel surfing... err, channel. We're guessing it'd work something like the News and Forecast Channel, feeding off of information via WiiConnect24 - but, of course, we could be wrong. Nevertheless the basic function is there: if you're curious when the next episode of Pushing Daisies is coming out, check the schedule on your Nintendo Wii Source: http://www.qj.net/New-Wii-Channel-announced-TV-Program-Guide-Channel/pg/49/aid/106225 [/QUOTE]
