Default Channel Ideas?

What would you think would be a good idea for a Channel, since Nintendo are releasing all sorts of them (TV Channel, WTF?)?

My ideas:

SD Channel

Obviously, this is one we all want, a channel that lets you play stuff off your SD Cards. Maybe once you open it, it takes you to another Channel menu with all your songs and of course, VC Games. Come on Ninty, make this happen!

VC Museum Channel

Lets you view art from all (Well, most) VC games like Boxart, Promo art etc. and hell, maybe TV ADs too. =D

So, how about you guys?

Wii Demo Channel
Name speaks for itself really...

An improved Mii Channel,
Where you can change clothing and choose from tons of outfits. Maybe downloadable outfits, hats etc. IMO the Mii channel is far too restrictive, not enough customization.

I think the whole point with the Mii channel is just to make a face; nothing else.

But I don't like the "Just make a face" thing. I would rather Miis you could make to look more like someone.

Actually, you can play the songs off your SD card during the slide show in the Photo Channel menu. But you can't fast-forward or rewind and you're either stuck playing one song on repeat or playing all of the songs.

Of course, with the latest Photo Channel update, you can't play MP3s, only AAC files...

As for playing VC games, the fact that Nintendo didn't put that sort of thing in from the get-go was just really stupid IMO especially given the small size of the hard drive and how big some of the games are.

I'm surprised Nintendo didn't already make a mii channel upgrade. Like there's a lot of hair does and smiles and mustaches and beards and stuff. Because there's only four beards. WHATS UP WITH THAT? and the miis are still a little blocky. and clothes don't really matter because most of the time on wii games you don't get the clothes you picked in the mii channel and most games just show the mii's head. But For the check me out channel, new clothes and mii faces would bring many new possibility's. But Nintendo wants you to be creative.

Weather channel upgrade. Instead of updateing the weather every 6 hours how about every hour. Because Whenever I turn on my wii, i check the weather, then do want I want to do. and in canada, you want to know what the weather is like, not what it was like 3 hours ago.

Probably some kind of a wii ware online thing.

I dunno if this would add on to my mii channel upgrade but I think this would be cool. I was thinking nintendo should make a mii town. like on the mii channel where theres all the miis why not add a few shops and be able to move your mii. And if you have your friends mii you could talk to them kinda like a animal crossing/ sims kinda thing. and you could buy a house angel get things for your house or you could let a friend move in. And you would get money by playing games, or even by playing wii sports. I think that'd be awesome
