Does anyone know if Nintendo TVii will cost?
There's a million ads and details about Nintendo TVii, but a lot of it makes it sound like it's gonna cost.
If it costs, how much will it be? Because if so, I can just watch Netflix on my PS3

[Alph]

it will cost if it's not on demand or TiVo. This is what Amazon Video, Hulu and Netflix are used for.

[Mignaga]

The program and acess to it will be free, however you will have to pay for the services within the actual program to actually do anything with it.

Nintendo needs to partner up with like Comcast on this and get Live streaming straight to the Gamepad, thatd be sick

I'm really hoping this service comes to the UK Ireland region as well

[shout64]

after looking around I finally found this video, it answers just about every question you can think of

bbc i player will probably come to it which I'm guessing will be free, Also we may get Netflix and lovefilm. Don't know much about Ireland though.

Doesn't Tvii work with your cable providers? If so, that means the service will be kind of free. Obviously services like Netflix and Amazon Video will require subscriptions.

[Robotic Sunshine Commander]

this is going to be an awesome feature. i guess it depends what ur using on tvii.

Nintendo needs to partner up not only Comcast, but also TimeWarner Cable, Cox, Cablevision, and Charter. And digital satellite providers DirecTV and Dish Network.

So is Nintendo Tvii going to be able to set my comcast dvr to record shows or will you have to have a tivo?

We has netflix and lovefilm, and some other streaming options here now.
Plus rte player, tg4 have a internet player and so do tv3 too.
With saorview the remote should be really easy to do too.

Ain't no excuses but deciding the investment isn't worth it for our tiny market.

Yes you can. When you have Nintendo TVii, you must have a digital dish or cable provider's DVR to record shows, movies, etc. If you have TiVo, it's optional as well.

Can I watch Spongebob on the gamepad while I'm in the bathroom shaving my manbeard?

This is gonna sound crazy but am I the only one who remembers the metal plate at the back of the console at E3 this year where all the ports are? I SWEAR I thought I saw something that looked like a cable port. Perhaps you plug in your cable and Insert more TV stuff here cuz I'm lost

Edit: was this it? Anyone notice the ports in the upper row?

Holy *CENSORED!* Where did you get that leaked picture? Never have I ever seen the back of the Wii U... especially with cable connectors. When Reggie says, "...it does everything.", you're not foolin' around.

Thank you for clarifying I was on the verge of ditching My comcast DVR for a Tivo!
