How to Access Wii Channels From an SD Card

The main menu screen of the Wii displays a series of boxes known as channels. Each channel focuses on specific content for the Wii such as weather, news or shopping. Certain Wii games will install a channel on the Wii to save information such as player profiles. When you download a game from the shop, it can also be accessed through its own channel. To free up space in your Wii's memory, you can save and access these channels on an SD card.
