Wii

I recently got a wii but I cannot for the life of me get the damn thing working.

My tv is quite an old tv and no longer have the remote so I got a new remote yesterday so I could locate the 'AV' channel and I still can't get it going. I'm falling at the bit after connecting it up and there's supposed to be some set up screen that appears? I get nada!

Any ideas? Apart from grabbing a child to do it for me?

    I don't think so - should I go buy a remote that allows me to tune too? :p

    you might have a problem then depending on the tele . Imagane you have moved house you would need to retune the tele for the new transmiter . is there not any pannels on the main tc which lift up which might give acces to channel and volume type of thing . if there is try differnt combinations of the controll and see if you can tune that way .there might be a button marked av even ,they are all differnt

    I finally managed to crack it after resorting to more unplugging/replugging :rotfl:
