                First, what you do is turn on the power button on the Wii, the power button is in the upper left corner, the light on the button should go from yellow to green. Then you turn on the TV, and hit the channel button so that the TV mode is on AV. Next, the screen should say, “Welcome to Wii Press A to start. On your Wii remote, there will be a big circle button in the middle, with an “A” on it. After you press “A” the home screen should come up. There you should see a red box in the bottom right corner of the menu, you move the Wii remote over to that red square where it should say, “Netflix.” Then you press that by hitting the “A” button again. Hit the “A” button once more to start the program. Finally the list of television shows and movies should come up scroll for your favorite one and watch it all day and as many times as you want.
