I'm positive it's not the physical setup. I changed nothing but the software update. One minute it's working smooth as butter and the next it's like chewing on rocks. Christmas tree lights can definitly affect the remote's receiver - saw this first hand at my brother's on Monday. Those issues aren't at play here at my place.

I've since made some adjustments to remedy the situation as best as possible. I cranked the sensitivity and moved the sensoor bar to the bottom of the TV on top of its little stand. The way I like to hold my hand though requires the bar to be a bit higher so I will probably attach it to the TV just below the screen (which is 4 inches higher than it is right now). I'll try it on top of the TV again tomorrow, but like I mentioned, the current performance is not anywhere close to what it was when I first hooked it up.

Now for a little Zelda before bed...
