Wii setup: Top or bottom?

In line with Blake’s post about the way you situate your Wii, I ask where you’re putting your sensor bar? The settings menu shows you can place it above, or below your TV. Simple. To hide it below, or feature it above? You decide.

  1. I don't have room under (the inputs for my TV are in the way up front), so mine'll go on top. Hopefully it's short enough to fit below my center channel speaker without much hacking/slashing.

  2. On top I cant figure out where cable would go i I had it on the bottom because my TV is on a table and it's a fat one so there is no space under it.

  3. I'll put it on the bottom. My damn cats like to sit on top of the TV and I don't want them messing up the sensor bar.

  4. Bottom, there's stuff on top of my tv and a convenient space underneath it (plus I'm too lazy to point my wiimote up)

  5. From what I've read, you don't have to point the wii-mote directly towards the sensor bar after you calibrate it. (Is that right or am I making this up??)I'm using the double-sided tape included to tape it to the top of my TV… there is absolutely no room in the bottom!

  6. But remember kids, if you are asking someone about their sensor bar setup, do not ask "Are you a top or a bottom?" This could easily lead to an unfortunate misunderstanding.

  7. My TV is really big and high up in the air, so mine will most likely go on the bottom. Does anybody know if having it up a good 6-8 feet in the air will affect gameplay?

  8. I'm not sure what to do. My room is cramped, so my television is on a small surface and almost behind one of my bed-posts. As for the top, my television is slanted. It doesn't have a flat top and I think that might suck for the wiimote.
