Ah, well if you decide to get back into it, keep those cables in mind. The problem isn't that the Wii's output sucks, the problem is that modern HDTV's interpret the signal lousily. It's something I will never understand.
...and don't forget to change the output to 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL) in the Wii's settings.
Progressive scan really is better than interlaced.
If you're playing GameCube games on the Wii, you may have to hold a button down to get the option to play in progressive mode (B on the GameCube controller by default, I think).
