> If you plug in a Wii it starts off with no power (red light) so Wii Remotes won't turn it on.

Just tested this with my Wii, I put it into standby mode and the Wiimote turns it on.

That's not really helpful. Take it out of standby mode, unplug it, and try starting it with remotes.

Did that, and Wii Remotes still turn it on.
