Wii Sensor Bar Issues

I'm sure this topic has been covered but I just got a Wii and have an issue. When I aim at the TV during Rayman and Resident Evil 4, it doesnt aim at where I am pointing. It shoots like inches away from where I am shooting. Seeing as there is no way for the sensor bar to detect how large you TV is, is this the norm? Can the sensor bar be calibrated in any way to shoot exactly where I want?

This isn't how the Wiimote is supposed to work.

You watch the "cursor" on the screen - not point there with the Wiimote (i.e. like a gun).

It has nothing to do with the size of the TV or the "quality" of the sensor bar. All the sensor bar does is provide a calibration point, such that the Wiimote knows "roughly" where your TV is.

To work the other way, the sensor bar would have to work out where you are in the room - with the Wiimote - where the TV is, how big the screen is, etc. It doesn't do any of this. Its not supposed to.

Watch the on-screen indicator, and play from that.
