What we aren't so taken with is the cheap design and ugly menu system

Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost

Picture quality of the iPlayer on the Wii has been awful, but the release of a new channel could change all that. We test it out and compare it to the iPlayer experience on the PlayStation 3.
