Hi, this is Mary with Dish Network Customer Service. The WII does not get hooked into the Dish Network receiver but into the TV itself. There should be more than one place on the back of the TV to plug in the red/white/yellow cables. If not, certain TV's may only have one Video input, there are RCA switches, which allow for one output connection to the TV and several input connections. You can then switch through your devices. I hope this helps you!
