I sit too close to my large TV for the sensor bar to be accurate.

So since the Wii U is finally HD, I now play plugged into my 65 inch TV...a TV that I sit less than 10 feet away from. The sensor bar has no problem with jitter as you can imagine, but it doesn't accurately work as a pointer- pointing to the sides is very inaccurate.

I've tried using a wireless extra range, extra long sensor bar. Didn't do much.

I tried modding my sensor bar by basically halfing its size. Didn't do much.

Anybody have a sure fire way to improve Wiimote pointing tracking when sitting too close to a big TV?

There's nothing to help

That's one of the flaws in how the Wiimote/sensor bar is designed

I'm pretty sure the sensor bar is extremly primitive, only using some LEDs which the controller(camera) recognizes.You might be able to buy a second bar, put both to the edges and make sure only the light of the outer leds come to the controller

Na. There's a real easy solution to this.

Tell yourself, there are no receivers in the TV.Point the Wiimote at the sensor bar. If you start doing this, then you can play your Wii on any TV easily.

It's not 1:1 with the TV.

try putting the sensor bar on the bottom of the tv instead of the top.... there should be an option to do that.
