I actually use the Everybody Votes Channel, Weather Channel and News Channel quite a lot.The Weather Channel was specially very useful, since I used to play games before I left home to go out with friends and other stuff.Back in 2006-2007 I used the Internet Channel quite a lot, but not nowadays anymore...

I use mine mainly for Netflix since the Virtual Console is useless to me and I really don't feel like playing any disk games

I really don't use the Wii for anything besides gaming. I have a laptop which is definitely more powerful and allows me to browse the internet and type much faster than I would on the Wii. Apart from Netflix and the demos I really see no true use for the Wii apart from gaming where it's actually better on the Wii (for me at least).Since people are talking about channels they use, I really only use the Nintendo channel, and that's only to see my overall playtime on all my games!

Reasons other than gaming are the only reasons I use my Wii anymore.

Netflix! I'm watching TV shows and movies pretty often and I'm also thinking of getting Hulu Plus since it's available on the Wii now, no cable in my apartment unfortunately :old scratch:

It's not very often, but usually I'll use the internet on my Wii if my laptop's having issues and I need to get online to check something. I tried Youtube on there because I thought it would be an excellent way to view the videos on a large screen, but...no. It *really* doesn't work well for that. :-\

I just use it to watch movies. I eventually bought an xbox 360, but for some reason, I like Wii's netflix layout better. Now it's been a while since I've turned on my Wii, so for all I know, it's probably been updated and Netflix probably sucks now, lol.

Oh yeah, as a Netflix box it's unbeatable, really.
Occasionaly I used it as a media player at my sister house as she didn't have anything but a big TV in her living room, but really, mostly I use it for games and emulators ( trough the TV, for anything else there is the PC of couse! ).
