'''''Wii + Internet''''' is a demo video that comes pre-installed on every Wii, it shows information about the process, features and advantages about connecting your Wii on the internet. After watching the video it will ask if you want to delete the channel saving Wii memory.
The '''Wii + Internet Channel''' or '''Wii & The Internet Channel''' (or alternatively known as the '''Get Connected Video Channel''' or '''Wii: See What You Can Do On the Internet''') is installed to Wii console units manufactured in October 2008 or later. It contains an informational video specifying the benefits of connecting the Wii console to the Internet, such as downloading extra channels, new software, [[Virtual Console]] titles, and playing games over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
 
The '''Wii + Internet Channel''' is the only pre-installed channel that takes up spare internal memory, and the only channel that can be manually deleted or moved to an SD Card by the user. The channel takes up 1,180 blocks of memory, which is over half the Wii's internal memory space. The large size of this channel is likely due to the fact it is available in multiple languages; three videos in the U.S. versions, and six videos in the PAL versions. Upon connecting to the Internet and running the channel, the user will be asked if they would like to delete it. It cannot be re-downloaded or restored upon deletion.  [https://web.archive.org/web/20101122214542/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/channelsWiiInternetVideo.jsp]
 
The same video presentation contained in the channel can also be viewed on [https://web.archive.org/web/20111127153746/https://www.nintendo.com/wii/online/internet an archived version of Nintendo's official website] as a shockwave flash video.
