“This has brought my Dad back to life. He’s been bed bound in a care home since his stroke unable to use the standard remote control and stuck on whatever channel the carers leave it on. Having no entertainment whilst stuck in a room 24 hours a day on top of his brain injury impacted him so badly I was told he was declining. I got him this remote, it took me less than a minute to read through and set up and my Dad can easily use it. Just being entertained means his brain is engaging and he has come back to life over the last 2 weeks. Hes even managed to call me for a chat. Thanks for giving me my Dad back!”

“Bought this for my mother in law so that I could preprogram chanels for her for her Virgin Box to make life easier. Inital set up ws easy and the control worked on both her LG T.V. and Virgin box. However when it came to program it for stored channels this was problamatic. I pre programmed about 12 channels into the control which at first seemd to work ok. I soon discovererd that when I tried to change channels a little later that it would jump to random numbers and also would only display part numbers and not change over. I tried several times to delete and restore the channels but it would eventually revert back to random numbers when trying to change channels so can't be used. It now sits in a drawer.”

“Good remote for my mum with dementia very simple with very few buttons unlike most remotes these days with buttons upon buttons, the only gripe is this, and it's not the remote problem which I will give 5 stars for, but gave it 3 because of this issue I have, it's the tv and virgin tv box problem that my mum has because where she lives the normal air to air digital tv is hard to receive, hence the virgin tv box. If you press the green off button by mistake, and bare in mind this is being used by a person with dementia, the tv goes off straight away but the virgin box takes a lot longer to turn off. If you press the green on button again before the virgin box has turned off, the two (tv and virgin box) go out of sync. ie, tv on, virgin box off, tv off, virgin box on, that sort of thing. That then becomes a bigger problem with the person with dementia. I have set this remote up to operate the Virgin box and tv otherwise I would need two remotes which becomes more of a confused dementia problem. Not sure how I solve this issue.? Maybe it's me not programming the remote properly!! Any thoughts please.”

“Great TV remote control , with only 4 buttons to control TV and Freesat box make's it a whole lot easier to turn the TV and box on and off with 1 button , with the 2 double buttons for volume and channels with just 1 more for to mute sound . Brilliant bit of kit, looks great in white with the buttons in bright colours . Highly recommend”

“Synching the Flipper to the TV was quick, synching to the STB less so. Not finished setting it up yet, but will complete over the next few days. First impressions are that this is probably a decent bit of kit”
