Question Wii SCART Lead advice

I have an oldish 1 scart lead TV (DMTECH LU20DV). I am hoping to buy my son a Wii for Xmas but the TV only has room for the one SCRT lead which is currently used by the Freeview.

Do I have to unplug the freeview SCART lead everytime he wants to play his Wii? or can I get an adaptor or something like that - if so, which would be the best?

Please advise - desperate!

Re: Wii SCART Lead advice

If the TV has a composite video input then you can use that for the Wii.

This is actually the type of cable supplied with the Wii as standard - it doesn't come with a true scart connection, only a simple adaptor which lets you connect the composite to a scart connection.
