Is there an "extension cord" for the Wii sensor bar?

[Javery]

A friend of mine has her TV mounted on a wall in her living room but all of her electronics (DVD player, receiver, cable box, etc.) are on the opposite end of the room. She just bought a Wii and wants to run the sensor bar cable very very far... any thoughts?

Do they know about the third party Wireless Sensor Bar?

There are Wireless Sensors Bars that she might find useful. Other than that, I don't know.

Damn, kapkorn beat me.

I know Tycho at Penny Arcade had this same problem.
You might want to shoot him an email to see what his solution was:

I think he said he had to get a 3rd party sensor bar, but i could be wrong.

I bought some on eBay. They come in 6-foot lengths, and you use multiple cables to extend further (I'm using 3). Just search for "Wii sensor extension" and you should find them. They were under $4 per cable.

You could always DIY. http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/29/mod-your-wii-sensor-bar-to-go-wireless-for-8/

My god, I wish people would read threds before replying! The simplest and best solution is the wireess sensor bar. Cheap and easy. Buying multiple 'extension cables' is silly. For shame.

Buying extra batteries or buying extra rechargeables and having them drained when you want to play is what is "silly". I'm sick of having so many batteries to replace. Thank goodness for the PS3 controller's self contained rechargable that you plug in via USB.

It's fine to have wireless things, but they should all be rechargeable via USB.

my only question is why not just move all your electronics over to where the tv is. lol
