The BBC has announced that it will be “relaunching” the iPlayer streaming TV system on the Nintendo Wii, with the system now present as a dedicated Wii channel.  While iPlayer access on the Wii has been possible since April 2008, the new iPlayer channel will apparently offer a “faster, high quality and improved viewing experience” according to Erik Huggers, direct of Future Media and Technology at the BBC.

The iPlayer channel will be available to download through the Wii’s online store.  However only those owners in the UK will be able to access both it and the iPlayer service.  It’s expected to go live on November 18th.
