How to Connect Wii to Dish TV

While the Nintendo Wii is designed to work with televisions were manufactured during the release of the system, it still has the ability to work with older television models. This can, however, create problems if you are trying to connect more than one device to an old television. For example, if you are trying to connect both a Wii and a Dish Network receiver to the same television, both devices may need to make use of the television's coaxial port. With the right equipment, connecting both of these devices is possible.
