    Click OK after you click YES

    Okay. When you turn on the Wii and you see all those channels, click the Wii logo at the bottom left corner of the screen. Go to Wii Settings I think that's what it's called and keep scrolling through all the options. Eventually, you'll see the Internet button (between something and WiiConnect24). Click that, enter your Internet settings, it'll test your connection, and you're ready to go :)

    you have to go to the settings in main menu to access and setup your internet connection. As for the channels, that come after you get the internet and they are pretty much just add ons from the internet. EX... weather network, ESPN, that kind of thing.
