I'm a launch day owner and I started experiencing this exact same issue last fall. It's ridiculous to think that I have to stand up and hold my Wii U controller near the system to turn the tv on or change inputs. And don't get me started on the range while playing games. I can't relax on my couch at all, instead having to sit on the edge leaning in. Thankfully there's really nothing to play or this would be very frustrating. We switched to watching Netflix on our PS3 because it slays the crappy Wii U app. I've bought every Nintendo console on day one and never had issue with the hardware. But this thing is another ball of wax. It constantly freezes requiring me to unplug the system. The controller disconnects when more than four feet away. The thing is a mess and I can clearly see Nintendo doesn't care. They certainly don't care about their most loyal customers who need this issue resolved. Their solution? $185. Horrible.
