Wii Sensor Bar - Above or Below TV ?

Do you have your sensor bar above or below your TV ?

I had mine below but couldn't calibrate my Perfect shot with Ghost squad properly so moved it above the TV and works perfectly

So it's staying above TV from now on

It depends on the person's room and set up. I have it below my screen and it is perfect. Some of my friends have it above, and some below.

I have a floor model 57" HDTV so on top is my only option.

Mine is on top, 46" LCD. I don't think I ever tried the bottom option.

I tried the bottom but didn't get as good results, so I went back to the top.

On top of my 42" LCD. Just seems to work better. I never had much luck mounting it below any TV

I've only tried it on the top and it's never worked so I threw it away.

I've got a wireless one velcroed to the bottom of my projection screen. Works fairly well, though the couch is still a bit low and far away for it to be effective.

i switch mine depending on what i'm playing. Sit down games like Mario Kart Wii get the bar below the TV, Stand up games like Wii Sports gets it above. I find it takes no time to change and allows for the best signal.

I have it below the tv on top of my tv stand, I think I read somewhere that it worked better below. But it's more annoying than anything, because the coffee table is slightly higher than my tv stand, and the signal gets interrupted by anything on top of the coffee table, or whenever my cat decides to lay in the path of the sensor bar. I need to change it back to above.
