Sensor bar troubles - glenb83 - 04-13-2012

Hi all, I have bought 2 wireless sensor bars to use with dolphin so far, but not having much luck. The first was 2x AAA batteries, the 2nd 4x AAA batteries. The 2nd controller was admittedly a bit smoother. I paid approximately $5 for each.

Problem I have is that I have to be within arms reach of the bar for it to recognise. As soon as I move further away the cursor freezes. I've also tried going a long distance to start but cant get it to register either.

Is there a recommended sensor bar that is known to have a strong signal and work well? Or does the bar have to be at a certain angle, it is slightly lower than chest height on my pc monitor at the moment.

Have you tried them with completely fresh batteries. You may find that if the ones you're using are a bit old that replacing them will make the sensor bars usable without having to buy a new one.
