Does your tv have scart sockets?
if so you can buy this adapter that on one side is the scart socket and the other is the yellow red white sockets
something like this

that is what you said
I am trying to avoid having to unhook/excchange the yellow/red/white
cables from the tv every time i want to use the Wii or teh DVD player
because the connection is in the rear of the tv and it is a large tv so
hard to get to. anyone know of a way to hook both the DVD player and
the Wii up to the tv?
you keep the dvd/vcr playing as normal
seperatly
because there are no more red yellow white phono cable plugs left on the tv
there must be scart plugs
get that adapter plug it in the tv plug the wii in to the adapter and then go the AV channel that the scart belongs to
i dont know why you want the dvd/vcr involved with the wii
it will be a overall better viewing system because
if you have the wii going though the dvd/vcr then go to the tv while the dvd/vcr is trying to handle the dvr
the signals from the wii will not be as good if you connected it directly to the tv
also you will use less electricity because the wii only needs the tv to be on
if you did it your way the wii needs the dvd/vcr to be on and the tv to be on

you posted a possible solution to my problem of hooking up my Wii to my DVD/VCR combo to Direct TV DVR to TV. you suggested adding a Scart to the DVD/VCR combo. i looked up what that was and that is not what i need - the DVD/VCR doen't have a port like that but i have seen them on other units, and my DVD/VCR has an input and output yellow/red/white connection. is my original assumption correct that i would connect teh Wii to the DVD/VCR and connect the DVD/VCR to the tv? the Direct TV connection is working fine, the DVD/VCR is working fine, it is just the Wii i can't get to come on.
