“It's so easy for me to use. I can watch all my shows and not be stuck watching one channel.”

Helpful Report

“I got this for my mum who is 87 and partially sighted. She was constantly pressing the wrong button on her TV remote. I have to say she loves it, could use it straight away with no problem. I can't say how easy it was to tune in as my nephew did it but he said it was easy to do. Definitely recommend it.”

Helpful Report

“We were able to eventually get the remote to work with TV, and that took some time involving two of us, but it does not work with TV and Bush DVD player which is connected via HDMI cable. In our view we wouldn't purchase again.”

Helpful Report

“Easy to set up, this replaced an OEM remote with 72 buttons, what my 93 year old could not get to grips with (and even I found confusing!) Large buttons are easy to use, and i no longer have to “fix” het TV when sh had switched it back in analogue mode which resulted in a screen that resembled a snow storm!”

Helpful Report

“Love it! Very easy to use and prevents my Stepfather from pressing all of the buttons on other remote controls and losing the channels!”

Helpful Report

“Very fiddly to set up. But did it eventually. Prompt delivery.”

Helpful Report

“The remote is very good, not too difficult to programme. Our only problem was the remote only controls the Sky box so the TV still needs to put on and turned to the correct setting before my parents can use the remote independently.”

Helpful Report

The Flipper can be programmed to control both Sky and the TV so the TV doesn't need to be turned on manually before using the Flipper. Please contact our customer service team if you have any issues during set-up and we'll be happy to help you get the Flipper working fully.
