Picture does get murky (haven't tried it in a month or two) but I always used wifi connection but that doesn't matter because my other streaming devices such as Roku and Wii U don't have this problem.  I believe it is more due to limited processing power of the Wii.  If he was a good son he would pick up one of the higher end Roku players for like 60-80 bucks and expose his dad to a true streaming device. 

I also bought their Wii U, which they use in the dining room where we play cards on the weekend.  I have an uncle who lives with them that spends a lot of time in that room.  He's a wrestling fanatic, so I'm always pulling up classic wrestling videos from the early 80's and 90's on YouTube for him.

Yea Wii U is a lot better at streaming than the Wii.  I liked the Wii a lot back in day and just assumed the murky/blocky video that sometimes occurs was due to fault of my connection speed (but I believe it was actually the Wii's fault).  I'm most impressed with my Roku that I believe is the second highest end model which I got for about 70 I believe.  The overall loading of programs UI and consistency of the stream is pretty damn good.
