Here is a pic of the Sensor Bar stand that ships with the Wii. I am guessing it will have a suction cup type things on the bottom to stick to the top of TVs without falling! I searched this, didn't find anything on it, so I'm not exactly sure if it is old or new news.

thank goodness, I was first afraid of throwing my wiimote but it has a wristband, then I was sorta concidering how the sensor bar would stand stable on top of a tv, not to mention a flatscreen, good to know...

Ive heard that you cant play too close to the sensor bar, how close it too close?

Just play how you would regularly play, if you have the Wiimote like 1 foot away from the sensor bar, then it will obviously preform major movements with your slight ones, average gaming distance should be more than perfect. In the wii experience videos some people are standing like 2 feet away from the TV and are doing fine.

do you have to use that stand if you put the sensor bar under the tv?

If it has the suction cups, yes, unless you live in outer space..

I have a projector.
Where should I put the sensor bar?

I haven't bought it yet, I was just wondering where would the best spot be.

I was in a hurry setting up my wii, I couldn't be bothered fiddling with the stand so I plonked the sensor bar directly ontop of the TV and it works fine.
