Default Wii remote only works a meter or 2 from the tv.

Only started using me wii again since i decorated and got new tv and sofa, and the wii remote won't reach the wii pick up thingy from sitting on the sofa, is there anything i can do to make it better.

no, the nearest window to the tv is on the landing a meter or more to the left of the tv but above the downstairs celling height.

Yeh thats it pretty much, however I dont think they are designed to work too far away, unless u used it this far before?

Have you cleaned the sensor bar, or moved the location (top to bottom of tv or vice versa)

I'm not sure if it ever worked as far as i want it to now but i'm sure it was better than it is now, the sensor bar was at the bottom of the tv now on top but i have changed the setting on the wii to tell it its on top, i do want it at the bottom but need to get some double sided tape to stick it cause the tv's on the wall, and i'll try cleaning it, cheers for your help back to the wii.
