The Homebrew Channel is a self-updating homebrew application loader by Team Twiizers which allows users to load homebrew applications without having to run an exploit every time. Once installed, users can access the channel from the Wii System Menu just like any other Wii channel. It can launch or install homebrew applications from an SD or SDHC card or via TCP/USB Gecko using Wiiload. You can install the Homebrew Channel as part of the HackMii Installer by seeing the Installation part of this page.

 

It's basically so you can get hombrew applications going without trying to do the Zelda hack or something else, every single time you want to hack your system.

I use Homebrew btw. Mostly for Brawl.

Seriously you need to get The Homebrew Channel. It can do stuff like:

 

Play import games

Play DVD's

Apply themes

Cheat codes (GeckoOS)

Texture hacking

Play burned games (illegal)

3rd party games

etc.

etc.

 

Ask me if you want to know how. :D

Taichi Masaki and Scarlet pretty much covered most of it, but let's not forget the potential risks with Homebrew. Be careful with what programs you run via homebrew. Some of them can tinker with the Wii's internal stuff, and if you edit/remove/add the wrong thing, you wind up with either a semi or full brick, which renders the Wii either partly or completely useless (respectively). If your Wii's old enough, you can install BootMii, which can create a backup of your entire Wii onto your SD card so that if you brick your Wii, you can easily restore it to a previous state. I know there's a way to do it with recent Wiis as well, but the method escapes me at the moment.

 

It also goes without saying that you should never update your Wii unless it's with an unofficial hacked update that leaves in all the goodies of the updates while taking out the icky stuff that deletes homebrew and stuff. If you play a game that requires you to update, either use a program that skips the update (I think it's StarPatch or something like that; I'm not sure) or just run the game through Gecko OS). The only time that won't work is if the game requires a certain IOS (they use that stuff to run the games, I guess) that comes with the update, in which you have to install the IOS seperately via Homebrew.

Bolded. I don't know how much I have to stress to install BootMii.
