I've only tried Hulu and as everyone else has noted, it does not work. I would love to think that I can watch online video content on my TV through the Wii (other than You Tube that is). Does anyone have any good sites that you visit using the Wii's internet channel? TV...Movies...Music...etc?

Here are some sites recommended by this site http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/wii_tips.asp

Wii Audio and Video Sites:
Finetune for Wii - superb streaming radio and audio site tuned for the Wii
Wiihear.com - another great streaming radio site
WiiTube - youTube videos for the Wii
SofaTube - another youTube site
StumbleVideo - like Stumbleupon, but for Video

Wii Flash Games
WiiCade - a great Wii games site, packed full of games
WiiPlayable - flash games, sorted by category
Wiislowdown - Videos and Games
Albino BlackSheep Wii games - Wii compatible flash games

Other Wii links
miiboard - Wii portal where you chat with other Wii users and swap codes
MyWiiWeb - another Wii portal. Nice clean simple layout, reminiscent of the Wii Consoles own interface

I use it for everything. My laptop broke a few years ago and I haven't gotten a new one...

just normal internet sites:
Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, STINKING NintendoLife which I loathe, NintendoEverything is kind of better IMOA, GoNintendo, GameFAQs, GameStop, Amazon!

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

Just an FYI on WiiCade - Nintendo & Opera seem to have broken some stuff with the new version of the browser. Until I can find a way to unbreak it, some of the games won't work. On the bright side, Javascript games work splendidly. (Glad I've been pushing things in that direction!) So if you're looking for some great games to play, here are a few I can recommend:

Coverfire (Best with 2 Wii Remotes; written by yours truly)
Replicator (Sort of like Robotron)
Bust 'n Redzta (A fun platformer where you pop bubblewrap "pollution")
DHTML Galaxian (It's Galaxian. 'Nuff said.)
Pentriix (An online Tetris-like game.)

Other fun games that still should work include:

Double Wires
Tactical Assassin
Paintball (This was a favorite at the IGN offices!)
Dice Wars (A personal fave of mine)
Mindfields 2204 (Highly underrated puzzler, IMHO)
Wreckanoid (Arkanoid with a kick!)
Wiijeweled (Yeah, it's a clone of THAT game)
Rock Grid Rumble (Really fun puzzler)

Hmm... my list got a little long. I forgot how much arse WiiCade kicked!

Wii Portal, I use this to save space in my favourites, as it has some useful links that would other wise clutter the favourites screen. Game sites, orisinal being my favourite. It also links to finetune which is an awesome service, I've spent many hours adding tunes and creating playlist's on the PC and can play them on the TV whenever I want, I really like the interface and presentation, and it can be a good way to discover music too. Then it's the obvious ones like mail and gaming websites (like that NintendoLife place), and my favourite site of all time, the BBC.

Up until yesterday I visited the BBC iPlayer to catch up on TV and radio shows I've missed, but sadly Nintendo broke it!!!

A website i forget that has Opera Tetris, and Youtube bc its nice to watch vids on the big screen

invmat

youtube.com
orb (for streaming media from PC to Wii)
nbrew.nl (Dutch homebrew site)
hackmii.com (I think this explains itself)
gbatemp.net (international homebrew site)
Nintendolife - of course
press.nintendo.com - for Nintendo-related news

I think that's it, so I mostly use it to see if there is any news.

Those are all great...has anyone been able to successfully stream shows like the office from the internet on Wii?

Orb was a lot easier to set up than TVersity Media Server.
Nice program, Thank you for adding it to the list.

For streaming I prefer using the homebrew mplayer. Plays internet streams and plays most files shared on your pc with no problem. Orb is good for certain media mplayer can't play like some high quality h.264 files. Its a good fairly easy to set up solution for people who don't want to delve into homebrew.

Flash site I like to use on my wii is orisinal http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/
Really cool and unique flash games.
