The Wii's TV Guide Channel has been revealed, including some nifty channel switching features and TV control with the Wii Remote.

According to hands-on reports, players can sync up their remotes to the TV, bridging the gap between Wii control and TV control. When a program is selected on the guide it jumps straight to the correct channel for viewing, and to jump back, players press home and it reverts. TV bookmarks can also be shared with friends. Got something to watch? Send it away!
An interesting way of sharing tv or a pointless addition to the channel line-up? Be sure to have your say below.

I think the same, I was going to include my doubts in my post but thought I should be positive and removed them at the last mo. I hope, despite these reports from Eurogamer.
Joe, Sync your TV infra red signal code to your Wii remote, exchange bookmarks on your listings with other Wii Friends who will receive messages and reminders to watch.
BRAWL FTW!!!!

and here I thought it was going to be a simple TV Guide feature. Sounds great!

Soo...how does it work exactly? You select a show on the Wii, and the wiimote acts as a TV remote to switch your TVs channel to the right one? It actually seems a little pointless to me...other than to keep tabs on the shows you want to watch. Also, I was under the impression that the Wiimote didn't emmit infra-red...the sensor bar does, the wiimote just receives it...?( Edited 04.03.2008 16:34 by Ikana )

This looks pretty cool. I really want to see a trailer showing how you control the TV using the Wiimote. A TV Guide Is Always Helpful Though.

That's pretty nifty. I could see myself using it for a little while, but then not bothering. Still though, pretty cool and hopefully something that makes it to the West.

That's scary. The Wii now has a constant link to Nintendo and can control our TVs.
I might need to start unplugging the sensor bar after this update.
