How to Use Wii Media Center

Windows Media Center is one of the cooler multimedia applications available, allowing users to stream movies, music and even television shows and photos to their home entertainment system from their PCs. This makes it easy to share your favorite multimedia with the whole family without needing to hover around the computer. With a little ingenuity, you can do the same thing using Nintendo's Wii console.
