is the wii browser youtube compatible?

Scruff

Just got the browser for the wii. Does it work with youtube? when i tried it just said "service unavaliable". Are there any other youtube like sites that will work with it?
Will a usb keyboard work with it?

Video sites tend to be a bit hit and miss depending on what version of Flash they require, but I always found YouTube to work.

Youtube seems to work - although I've often gotten disconnected from it (that may be my connection rather than the browser)

And yes, a USB keyboard works with the browser amongst other things.

Yeah, Youtube should work with it alright, altough the Wii tends to run out of memory if you are watching a long video, which can be a pain. And as long as you have the latest firmware for the Wii and the latest version of the Web Browser you should have no probs using a USB keyboard either.

What about a mouse?

It's no where near as sensitive/accurate as a mouse.

Did you actually pay for the browser, I never got online until after they stopped letting you download it for free, how much does it cost?

I would not. type your message, pick up the Wii-mote, piont at the screen, make sure that it does not waver away from the link and press the button.
Rather than type message, move mouse, click

Just hit refresh! You can pick up from where you left off then

Do you think you would use the internet on your TV at all? If the answer is yes, then get it, it's not bad! Obviously if the answer is no then you'd just be wasting the money
