I have noticed that if you aren't in a good line of site the hand in the Wii menu will jump around. There's definitely a sweet area that the wiimote wants to be in. This is no problem when you are standing directly in front of the tv (up to 15 feet away if you prefer) but at certain angles the sensor bar gets finicky.
As far as the "point at the bottom of the tv" I would assume that your friend has the settings on his wii dialed in incorrectly. There is an option to tell the wii whether you are placing the sensor bar on top of the tv or below it. He probably has that option toggled for above. Also, make sure there are no obstructions in the line of sight from the sensor bar to the wiimotes.
I have never noticed lag...period.
The issues with the wii, the sensor bar, and the wiimote are, IMO, software problems.
Case in point: the hand on the wii menu can tend to be a bit shaky...conversely, the reticule used in Metroid Prime and even the Metroid Prime Demo channel is smooth as butter.
After you get it setup maybe you can offer your analysis. It would be nice to see if after you set it up yourself if you notice any of these problems.
