UK wii adaptor etc
 
Hi We brought our uk wii with us but on 2 tvs the menu screen just flicks up and down. Does anyone know of an adaptor/converter or some such thing to get the wii to work properly??

OR do you know which place to go to for advice??
We are in Cambridge, Ontario in case you needed to know!

Many thanks in advance!

I am not a techie so simple lingo would be good ;-)

I guess you've got a north american TV which probably doesn't multi-sync with euro kit.

If you can see the menu screen well enough to change the settings you should be able to fix it for some of your games (note wii games aren't region free either, so US games won't work without a bit of effort):

Can't help with the flickering screen but my son brought his UK Wii with us and installed Homebrew on it so he could play Canadian games on it.....it works perfectly.
