Netflix has come a long way since 1997.
What began as a disc-based mail-order rental service has become one of the pioneers of digital distribution.
Netflix's digital distribution service offers thousands of movies and televisions shows that users can watch instantly from a variety of devices, such as the iPhone, PC and the Nintendo Wii.
Netflix is not available immediately on your Wii when you first turn it on; you must download the program from Nintendo's Wii Shop before you can begin using it.

Select the "Wii Shop" channel on the Wii's main menu and choose "Start."
Select "Start Shopping" and choose "Wii Channels."

Select "Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii."
Select "Free 0 Wii Points" to begin the download.
Choose the location where you will save Netflix.
You can select either the Wii System Memory or an SD card.

Select "OK" and select "Yes."
Your download will begin, and a Netflix channel will appear on the Wii's main menu.

Select the "Netflix" channel, located on the Wii's main menu, and choose "Start" to launch Netflix. The first-time setup screen will appear.
Select "Yes" to indicate you are a current Netflix subscriber.
If you are not, you cannot use the service until you sign up at the Netflix website.

Enter your Netflix email address and password. Select "Continue."
Select a television show or movie in any category to begin watching it instantly.

Well if the region is not supported, that means that you can't get internet in your current area. And as for another way to get it, I am pretty sure that you can only get it through Wii Shop, although I don't know if you can save it on to a SD card from someone els's Wii and then transfer it to your.Wii. I have never tried that, in fact, i just thought of that. You could always try it.

i think you put it the wrong way!!

If your connection isn't very strong you will have issues connecting to the Shop Channel. Verify your connection. The problem also may be a necessary update. Go to your settings and get the latest Wii system update.

I would suggest if you haven't already use the Shop Channel and Download the Internet Channel.

It is free now but if there is parental controls you will have to have someone who knows the code let you get it from the shop channel.

you should have wii channel the mii channel and a few more

i went to the support.nintendo.com and it helped me out lots by telling me what to do !!! i suggest it to anyone with a problem with their wii or any nintendo device !!!
