Yes, you read that right, 2 tea light candles. Look, the sensor bar is just there to give the Wiimote "light" so it can see and communicate with the Wii system. Candles will take care of that. Just light 2 up and place them on either side of the tv. I don't know how it works, I just know it does! Of course, that does run the risk of burning your house down, but hey, it is what it is!
