The '''Movie-Ch Install Disc''' (internally known as the "'''MovieCH Import Disc'''") is a disc used in Nintendo repair centers in order to install the [[Wii + Internet Channel]] on Wiis being repaired which previously did not have the channel installed.

The '''Movie-Ch Install Disc''' (internally known as the "'''MovieCH Import Disc'''") is a disc used in Nintendo repair centres in order to install the [[Wii + Internet Channel]] on Wiis. Since this channel started to be included with new consoles a few months into the Wii's production, but was never distributed via disc or online updates, it seems like the use of this disc became standard procedure to spread the channel to as many consoles as possible.
    
The disc was originally discovered by the community through an image posted online (which also showed the [[DiscUpdate Disc]]), and was soon revealed to be for sale on [[GameDealDaily]]. Several community members purchased copies of the disc, and eventually a full, clean 1:1 dump of the disc was obtained which is now in the Wii full-set.

The disc checks the free NAND capacity and NAND integrity, then installs the HCGE.wad file in the "viewer" directory to the NAND; if installation is successful, it then launches the installed title. If installation is unsuccessful, one of the below error screens are displayed. Note that the "viewer" directory is also the standard directory for [[Nmenu]] operations, indicating that the program on this disc may be related to Nmenu. "viewer.wad" is also the name of a [[BroadOn]] format WAD found on [[RVL_DIAG]], containing [[NDEV Menu]] 1.00.

If installation is unsuccessful, one of the below error screens are displayed. "Viewer" is one of the internal names used for the Wii Menu, or for any title installed with the Wii Menu's ID (possibly meaning disc viewer or application viewer); this same convention of installing WADs from the "viewer" directory is also used by [[Nmenu]]. It's unknown why this name was chosen; it may be carried over from an application specifically intended to install a Wii Menu, or it could refer to a title with the Wii Menu's ID installing WADs from that folder.
