Title: Moving Channels...
Post by: UncleBob on December 19, 2006, 04:55:54 AM
Okay, by now I assume most of us know that you can move channels around by holding both the a and b buttons and dragging them...

But is it just my unit, or can the Disc Channel not be moved?

The disc channel is the only one that is fixed in its position. I guess Nintendo did this so it would always be easy to find and also because of the disc that hangs off the left edge (and moves off-screen when you remove the disc).

I can't move them around period, I hold down b then press a and it goes to the channel, i press both at the same time, same result, and obviously if i press a first, it goes to the channel.

try pressing B then A, or do them both at the same time, or do it while moving the wiimote at the same time.

MaryJane, the same stuff happens to me: they are unmovable!
Maybe it doesn't work with the original firmware? (which I have)

If you still have the original, non-upgraded firmware, can you tell me if the unused Channel spaces have "snow" or not?  And if it says "Wii Menu" or whatever it says at the bottom?  I keep thinking that they both weren't there originally.

On another note, I wonder what happens if all 48 Channel spaces get used up.  There aren't enough Channels, even if you have all of the VC games so far, I bet, but it won't be long before it is possible.  The Virtual Console should be its own channel, or at least a different console per channel.  Or, you know, custom-created VC channels, like listing them by genres or favorites.

I had hoped the Channels could be made bigger.  You know, like the Disc Channel could be the size of four channels or something.

This is what I have noticed about the snow.  Before I got my component cables and hooked them up, I did not notice a snowy look for the unused channel locations, but after I hooked the cables up, it was snowy looking like a no-signal channel.

The bottom "Wii Menu" text was not originally there, nor was the flashing channels start-up sequence. I do not recall if the snow was there.

I always thought that the Virtual Console games should have been split up by game system.....so all NES under one channel and so on.

Here, I took a pic of my tv (sorry if it's a bit blurry):



(yeah, I have a cr*ppy 15" screen tv but I don't have much space so I can't get anything bigger...*sigh*)
