Nintendo has many options for installing additional software on the Nintendo Wii, such as programs that let you check the news and the weather. Nintendo calls these programs "channels." Once you've downloaded and installed a new channel, you just select it from the Wii's main menu to use whatever features it offers. If you want to transfer one or more channels from one Wii to another, you can copy them from the first unit to an SD card and then copy the channels from that card to the second Wii.
Copy Channels to the Card
Step 1
Power on the first Wii.
Step 2
Insert the SD card into the Wii's SD card slot. The slot is beneath a cover near the console's disk drive.
Step 3
Select "Wii Settings" at the main menu.
Step 4
Select "Data Management" and then "Wii Channels" to display a list of the channels on your Wii.
Step 5
Select the channel you want to copy. This brings up the options for that channel.
Step 6
Click "Copy" and click "Yes" when the Wii requests confirmation.
Step 7
Repeat the above procedure for each Wii channel that you want to copy to the SD card.
Step 8
Remove the SD card from the Wii console by pressing the card in until it clicks and then releasing it.
