FYI if you hold down the power button on the Wii for I think five seconds, the LED turns red and the Wii completely shuts down, which gives the same result as if you had unplugged and replugged the power cord.

Now there's some good advice, thanks. I guess that's why we should read manuals...

This just in:

When I downloaded the Everybody Votes Channel, I noticed it had a number of flickering lines running down the screen... It was a bit distracting, but c'mon... It's the everybody votes channel, who cares, right?

Well today I booted up Zelda and noticed it had the exact same flickering lines...

It's not the TV (I tested the screen with my PS2, and switched the Wii to 3 different video outputs)...

It's strange because they're not always there (for example, menu screens never seem to have the flickering lines... But the gameplay itself does)...
But the problem definately seems to be coming from either the Wii itself, or it's video cables...

Either way, it's quite disheartening... Anybody spare a reassuring pat on the back?

Have you tried unplugging the Wii? That seems to fix things sometimes. You don't have an extra set of cables, do you? That way you could test whether it's the Wii or cables.

And I'm sure that Nintendo will give you a free repair. Don't worry.
