Need help with my wiimote/sensor bar

Hi everyone,

First, my english is not very good... so be cool with me!

Second, before asking this question, i've done many search on google (and this forum), but without a answer for my question.

So, I have a 42" Sharp Aquos LCD television and i'm at 8-10 feets from, but wathever if I place the sensor bar on top or bottom of the TV, I always have a "jerky" cursor, wathever if I put the sensitivity to the max (5).

The frame of my TV is a little bit shiny, so I think I have few reflection of the sun or other light in the room on the frame of my TV, so the wiimote see these "false" reflection like the "real" infrared, and made my cursor go jurky.

I have 2 wires sensorbar (the original and one from DealExtreme). So:

- What can I do to "boost" the strength of the signal from the sensorbar?
- Can I put the 2 sensorbar one on each other, but how can I power the 2nd sensorbar? I have a multi adapter, from 1.5v to 12v, but can I power the 2nd with this kind of adapter? the V it's not my major problem, but the mA.... i don't want to blow the 2nd sensorbar, because in my house setup, the 2nd will be ON 24h/24h....

I've see from the web many "9v hack sensorbar" but I don't want to go this way. I have 2 wired sensorbar, and I want to use it.

Does someone can help me to get the most power from the IR sensorbar?
