Once I had found the code for the sky box - very simple - your website provided the information I needed. Programmed favourites and my Mother seems to be able to cope with this - so much easier than the Sky and tv remote.

Bought this Flipper Remote for my elderly mother who has dementia. We set her up with new TV on an Aerial (cancelled Sky). Programmed this remote control for the 4 channels she watches. She was able to work the controller from day one. Gone are the problems caused by 2 remotes and no telephone calls to say TV is not working. Would highly recommend this product.

Excellent product. Fast delivery. Good instructions to set up channels. Enables my husband to take his time choosing which channel to watch with fewer choices than the Sky guide. I would highly recommend this product.

Fantastic product. My father in law who is blind and is very forgetful was getting very mixed up with his normal remote control. He has no problem with this one and we have keyed in the channels he uses with his Virgin box. Would definitely recommend!

Purchased this for my father who previously had two controllers and daily got in a mess pushing buttons and loosing channels . Despite simplifying instructions for him on a laminated sheet, I still had four or five calls a day to say the tv was broken. My son tried to set up this controller and succeeded setting it to normal tv but not to sky, so we called in a company who set it fully and programmed in the channels that dad watches. Like anything with a person with dementia, he didn’t want the change, he wanted to keep his old controllers and insisted his tv was fine and that he didn’t have problems with it !! After a few hours of using the new controller he now seems happy and says he is getting used to it. We are only one day in, but hopefully he will now be better placed to choose his programmes without getting stressed when he mixes up the buttons. Simplicity means happy oldies.
