Wii owners in the United Kingdom are in luck, as BBC today announced that its iPlayer internet television service is being expanded to cover the console. The iPlayer program can now be accessed via the Wii Internet Channel, allowing UK users to watch free episodes of various BBC productions such as Top Gear and Doctor Who. BBC hopes to release a future version as a standalone application.
The service is currently in beta, though, with its website stating: “Over the coming weeks we’ll tweak the video encoding rates and playback window size to get the best possible video quality.”
It’d be pretty cool if they expanded the service to cover other regions.
