The Wii Channel Menu was created with the idea of TV channels in mind; each feature/application of Wii, known as a Channel, is stored in a Channel slot on the Wii Menu that features an animated icon. Selecting a Channel icon with the Wii Remote's A button then allows the user to open it by clicking the 'Start' button. The Wii Channel Menu features 48 Channel slots spanning four screens, with each screen having 12 Channel slots. Therefore, a single Wii can have a total of 48 Channels. With the exception of the Disk Channel, all Wii Channels on Wii systems with Wii Menu firmware 2.0 and beyond can be moved by grabbing a Channel icon (by pressing the A and B buttons together simultaneously), moving the icon over an open Channel slot, and releasing the buttons.

The Homebrew channel does not break any United States laws, but Nintendo likes the channel slightly less than Microsoft likes Linux and OpenOffice. The video game company has at least released one update that caused systems they suspected of having the Homebrew channel installed to become useless. Keep an eye on the updates for potential problems. Nintendo is unlikely to make a similar release soon, as the fix made some systems that a user had not modified useless also.
