Hi welcome.
I think a quart and a pint pot spring to mind. Perhaps you could piggy back a device into the VCR scart input and then on to the tv by RF. Very messy. What do you mean when you refer to av cables?

I think some sort of scart adaptor could increase your connectivity. Or you could RF the sky through the VCR and RF that to the TV? How does a Wii connect?
