I'm at the same version as you and I've got the Homebrew Channel happily up and running with no problems while completely connected to the internet as normal. I don't think anybody has actually had a bricked console from homebrew so far, Nintendo has merely tried to close the doors to homebrew in the first place. Actually, when they tried to nerf the Twilight Hack all of the homebrew that was already running on the console still worked in it's entirety.
Does anybody actually do those things? All kidding aside, I haven't tried those lately but the Homebrew Channel does connect to the internet every time it loads up so I doubt you're going to get a combination Blue Screen/Red Rings of Death if you do try anything.
Nope. That's all the real info you need. Check out http://Wiibrew.org for everything Wii Homebrew related that you need, it's where I've gotten everything I'm using.
It means that it's extremely unlikely that using the Homebrew Channel will brick your Wii. As in, it hasn't happened that anybody knows of so long as you follow the instructions properly. Is it a remote possibility? Sure, but it's so unlikely as to almost not be one. SO LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Team Twiizers simply has to cover their ***** in case it does.

lol, that's fantastic. I hadn't noticed that at all... I'll have to see if it's that way on mine. :3Rude hand gesture
Middle finger cursorThis is not a bug, but the cursor in the HBC is showing the middle finger. Can you please not be so rude and fix this
It will only show you the middle finger if you had the hacked preview-homebrew-channel installed. It's their little revenge on people who used a hacked version of their work. I guess you'll have to live with it.
Actually that's not truth but you're doing a real good job of spreading the rumour. It's just a random occurrence - Furkle 05:07, 12 June 2008 (CEST)
First, I didn't use the Hacked-Homebrew-Version. Second, the hand isn't a random occurrence, it is there everytime I use the Homebrew Channel. Is there any way I can get rid of it? Thank you. wackysystems
It's random based on your system variables. If you get it you're mostly stuck with it, though system updates and other major changes can change things enough for it to change status. It's not random on every boot. Marcan 22:06, 21 June 2008 (CEST)
it would have had to been put their on purpose considering it loads an image file for the cursor so someone would have had to also include an image of the middle finger, the wii just doesn't out of nowhere render a regular hand image as a hand with a middle finger so It would have had to be directed towards people with the hacked HBC, if you never used the hacked HBC then the bug is that the HBC though you had the hacked one. --DrMario 18:53, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if you can use AnyTitle Deleter to get a normal Cursor. --Flark 19:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
it would be funny just to have this cursor to show off for jokes, maybe a pc version of the cursor too lol
