How to Use Orb on the Wii

Orb is a free computer program that allows you to stream music, video and other media from your computer to your Nintendo Wii. This is a handy way to play movies on your television instead of on your computer monitor, without forcing you to burn a DVD or mess around with additional television cables.
In addition, Orb allows you access to your media files when you're away from home, as long as Orb is running and your computer is online.
