That remote seems to be the same from the update(unless i didnt look hard enough), before this one. Still, better than the original. Things definitely seem smoother, but it still has a ways to go.
I hope they continue to optimize it, making it more pleasant to use.

Don't suppose you can watch cable on the GamePad can you? HUGE missed opportunity if not. Surely it can be done if the console is even able to interact with your cable.

It doesn't interact with your cable, it can just change the input on your TV to the one that'll display your cable connection or whatever. The gamepad can control your TV/Cable Box because it's a IR remote too.
You can't, because the Wii U doesn't interact with your cable. It's just remote controlling the cable box - a low speed, one way connection via infrared. It can't actually access the feed, which means it obviously can't stream or record it or do anything else with it.

Yep. Nintendo couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag. I simply don't believe anything they say regarding deadlines. They simple are unable to deliver.
Iwata. Please go.

So when is this coming to europe?
The whole TVii thing is a US initiative, Iwata has little to do with any of it. It's also 3rd party. If i.TV doesn't have the infrastructure for Europe in place, Nintendo can't use it.
Ha ha.
When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.When the seas go dry and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves.Then Tvii will be available in Europe and not before.
It's just annoying that there's a useless icon on the screen.
Is it any wonder Wii U sales are very poor in places like the UK? Terrible support, broken promises and overpriced.
Nintendo obviously felt the need to include it as standard, built into the OS no less so ultimately the onus is on them. They are the ones pushing non functioning software down their customers' throats. Not like they're short on cash either so could have thrown a little extra incentive to deliver.
I doubt the lack of TVii is responsible for the lack of sales in the UK.
In contracting out, there should have been explicit language in said contract "feature x will be delivered by date y or a breach of contract will occur, in which legal and/or punitive action will be taken". It is Nintendo's fault.
Read his actual post. It isn't due to TVii, it is due to the example that TVii sets forth. Nintendo puts in minimal effort, doesn't care, and outright lies about its features.
