Wiispeak sits on top of the sensor bar and the sound from the TV will not effect it because of noise filtering. However if someone comes in your room and starts talking or a phone rings, the mic will pick that up.

Not saying you're wrong or that you would know the answer to this, but how is that supposed to work?

 

 

I'm pretty sure the theory Nintendo is using is that WiiSpeak will filter out the sounds coming from the TV using its connection to the Wii. You know, the Wii "tells" it what sound is going through the TV speakers and WiiSpeak subtracts that from all the noise it picks up.

Not saying this is gonna work well (if at all) but I believe that is what they are going for. Personally, if I wanted to use voice chat in games, I'd just wait for a third party to release their own headset, unless this WiiSpeak thing turns out to work amazingly well.
