Good product that is now being used by a person with dementia. Much easier to use as not now having problems pressing all the extra buttons that come with a modern smart TV remote. The only thing I would like to suggest is that the written instruction has the code 970 included for using the remote with a TV only. Had to use the videos to find this information, which are very good, but it would have saved a little bit of time if it was included in written instructions for TV only.

This is a great product but sadly I was unable to get it programmed to work with my mother's two Bush TVs so unfortunately they had to be returned.

Had no problem setting the Flipper up with sky box. Very easy to use, much easier for my elderly Mum. Would highly recommend

Really useful product. Simple, colourful and large buttons aid navigation. Simple to set favourite channels and subsequently edit them - though any you subsequently add get out to the bottom of the list, so best to finalise which channels you want to add to your favourites before doing so.

Works,a treat, no hassle. Thank you.

Fantastic product. My mum was really struggling to operate her 3 remotes and I was forever travelling across town to fix the tv. This remote has made a huge difference. You need to be patient in getting it programmed as the instructions could be more user friendly but there are a number of good videos on you tube that step you through it.

Flipper remote control really easy for mum to use. Well worth spending the extra time making sure you use the right code for your model TV and limiting the number of channels to flick through (use the TV channel selection features if possible). All you need now is one with simple DVD commands - play pause eject.
