I have had for over a year my bog standard cheap tesco t.v. I only just decided to connect my wii to said t.v.. I know this just proves how often I use it, the connectors from wii have composite A.V. cables ?, red yellow and white, my t.v. has only blue red and green, is there anything I can buy to link the 2
Do I need it or just want it.

I'm assuming this is what you are referring to?

Should just be a matter of plugging the cables into the right holes.0 -
Failing that, there are "Wii to HDMI" adapters available, not so expensive, so you can put it through to a HDMI socket.(Although I could be wrong, I often am.)0

My TV came with an extra little bit of cable/convertor with a composite video input at one end, and a tv-specific connector at the other. Not that this will help you much...
My Wii came with a SCART adapter, with sockets to accept the Wii connectors so that you can plug it into a SCART input socket on the tv.0 -

This t.v. will probably last forever as thinking next set I buy I will check all the connections first.Do I need it or just want it.0 -
Next set you buy will probably be HDMI only, the support for the older connection types is dwindling very rapidly.(Although I could be wrong, I often am.)0

You'll be lucky to find any decent TV with a SCART connection.
Also, even if you connected the Wii to your TV the input lag would probably not make playing games a joy.
probably best to look for a Wii HDMI converter as suggested in post #3.
There are many of them with different branding, but, they are all exactly the same product.......

Good luck...:)Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

The HDMI connector advised by RumRat arrived first, connected it up, all going great, thanks all for your help. Paul_Dnap thank you too, keep yours as back up.
I know most of the time what I want/need to do, I am a 69 year widow, who needs to know what these things are called before I can find them. Simple explanations are needed.Do I need it or just want it.0 -
