Answer :

answer:http://technat.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/playon-tv-on-the-wii-a-cable-killer/ Please make sure you’re not being mislead by this company. It doesn’t give you access to all those channels as though you were watching them on TV. It just provides a different interface to whatever videos those channels’ websites already make available on the Web, for free. From what I can tell, you’d be better off just buying an HDMI cable and connecting your laptop to your TV.
