If your TV has enough port on the back, you can add the Wii to the available port.  If you don't have additional ports, you have 2 options. 1) you can swap components when you want play the Wii (swap with DVD player), or 2) install a switch that will allow you to have numerous components plugged in using the same port on the TV.  I hope this helps.
