its a toss up between Everybody votes and Photo channels! Like said before,we would find the everybody votes alot more interesting if on getting the polls right you win points which could then be spent at the wii shop thing! but as for the photo channel,my camera take a really small memory card,the adapter to it is too big and on its own its too small,and you can get your photos up via USB... or if you can i havent been able to do it!!

As for the news channel,i think it would be alot betterif you could search for local news,mine always brings london up and i live miles away from london! so i either tend to press red on the sky or use the bbc website!!

hopefully in time theres gonna be new better downloadable channels...anyone heard any news on this??

Exactly

...still, some people would prefer to boot directly into games which I suppose was the reason for someone voting for that one (but even then I still wouldn't consider it the worst channel ).

The Everybody Votes channel is primarily used by Nintendo to garner market research. Hence the "Do you prefer cats or dogs" question v early on, closely followed by the release on Nintencats (following on from the success of nintendogs).
That being the case, I view the EV channel in the same vein as spam mail .

Just had a look at the poll results. 18 people have voted that the 'Everybody Votes Channel' is the worst channel. Not one to pass the opportunity for a daft comment...... surely you all LIKE voting, or you wouldn't have!

Errrmmm......

To be fair, I did at that as a caveat in the OP:

I can't see many people buying it...

Today we had my Grandad round and we wanted to show them the pics we had taken on our Digi cam. So I proudly took out the SD card, put it in the Wii and within seconds we were watching a slide show of the holiday on the TV!
It also played the Vids we had taken with it and then we played around with all the extras
Such as playing vids backwards, Changing the 'Moods'.
I think this channel is extremely useful for people with Digi cams
