Flipper Big Button Universal TV Remote - Seniors, Elderly - Simple, Works TV & Cable - Favorite Channels - Learning - Supports IR Devices

We bought this for my wife's mother who is in early stages of dementia and gets easily confused. The Spectrum set top box remote has about 800 buttons on it (ok, probably more like 50), but they're all very small and most aren't needed for daily viewing. This remote was perfect. It has just the volume, channel, and power buttons, and it was programmable to her TV (TCL with Roku built in) and her Spectrum set top box. There was even an option to have the power button only turn off the TV rather than both the TV and the set top box, which is a nice feature, since turning off both can cause the infamous "sync" issue if they move the remote during the power-on/off sequence for multiple devices. The only nit I had was in the programming. I tried all the codes for the TCL/Roku TV and none worked initially. Later I discovered that after putting it in programming mode, I was pressing the 4 code digits too quickly in sequence. I had to wait until each one made the light blink. Once I slowed down and paused for a second between each number press, the code worked properly. I set it up so the volume button works with the TV and the channel button works with the set top box. It's going to be great for her since she has historically had difficulty with her TV remote due to her easy confusion and her degrading eyesight. The designer(s) did a great job with this -- hiding the keypad so it's out of sight for programming only, and keeping only the basic buttons visible. Also, the volume and channel buttons being different colors just adds to the ease of remembering which color goes with which function, especially as eyesight fades. The instructions were also clear and well written, which is uncommon these days. I also saw a video demonstrating how to program it, and it was concise and easy to follow. This is the kind of device I would design if I wanted to create my own custom remote for someone with my mother-in-law's condition. Thank you for creating it. The price is a bit higher than some other "senior" remotes on Amazon, but the others had extraneous buttons and didn't appear to be as easy to program for multiple devices, or used the same color for all the buttons. Or the buttons were smaller and closer together, making it easier to mis-press. I think this is the "best-of-breed" in this arena, and so I decided to pay the premium price as I was confident it would "just work" the way I expected it to... and it did. I would highly recommend spending the few extra dollars to get this remote over less expensive knock offs. You do get what you pay for in this case, and it's worth it.

I just got this for my 88 year old dad who struggles with the Dish network remote that has no less than 658 buttons, most of which never get used and just get in the way. I was skeptical because I’m not good at setting up complicated technical stuff and every time I buy something that says “works with most” whatever, it won’t with whatever I’ve got😂 But I must say practically right out of the gate this thing worked like a charm! Dads got a Vizio tv and that comes preset. Within seconds we had the set top box cooperating, and his favorite channels programmed in. He LOVES it! Just a few, simple, large buttons that he can easily handle. Highly recommend!

AMAZING for seniors. I don't write reviews but this is such an amazing solution for seniors struggling with modern remotes. Parents are in mid 80s and early 90s and just moved to an ALF which required changing their TV and cable tv service. They could not remember how to use the new remotes and basically couldn't watch TV no matter how much we coached them, taped over remote buttons, etc. This remote was extremely easy to program for their new Hisense U7 tv and Spectrum cable box. We programed in the 20 channels (25 max I think) they watch the most and it has been life changing for them. It turns on and off both devices and the up/down channel button runs through their programed channels - so very simple. They can't accidentally hit a wrong button. We took away the "real" remotes. It has been several days with No Problems at all. They are able to watch TV again without problems. The greatest remote ever for seniors struggling with our modern overly complicated remotes. I am buying a second remote to have on hand just in case we ever need it.

I purchased this for my 91 yoa Father (Vascular Dementia) who was having significant difficulties with the Cable remote and all of its buttons. Pros: This remote control programmed easily (good instructions and code list) for his TV as well as his cable box. It's really simplified (and provided usability) to allow him to watch TV. Cons: The location where the batteries go (not included) is not sized correctly, resulting in an obvious bulge and the battery door doesn't fit correctly. It still snaps shut, but there is a clear gap in the remote batter compartment. The latch for the battery compartment has a spot for a screw to secure it, but no screw was included. I'll take a photo tomorrow of the issue. Great Idea. It works well, but the fit and finish leaves something to be desired. I had to reseat the batteries today to get it to work again - because the battery door bulges and no screw supplied to secure it.

Ma grand mère de 94 ans a tout de suite compris le principe, le gros boutons sont idéaux lorsqu'on ne voit plus clair, l'autonomie est très bonne, et l'essentiel y est .... CHAINE SUIVANTE, CHAINE PRECEDENTE, VOLUME +/- , BOUTON ON/OFF, (petit bouton MUET). Remplace avantageusement une télécommande trop complexe. Pour la configurer, c'est sous le capot que ça se passe, mais l'utilisateur n'a pas besoin de l'ouvrir au quotidien.

Perfecto para una persona mayor, he comprado un par de ellos y asi no se equivocan y desconfiguran la tv

This was fairly quick to set up and allowed a complex Sony widescreen TV to be operated by my very elderly Mother in law with just a few large simple buttons. We just had to follow some simple instructions to press in the number code for her Sony TV as per the supplied code list and the remote connected to the TV . We then pressed a code to allow it to select channels and away we went! All too easy.

Me resolvió el problema para dar facilidad a adulto mayor para usar sistema de cable

Die Anleitung ist leider nur auf Englisch, Nicht kompatibel mit dem TV, da angegebene Codes nicht verwertbar/ funktionierten. Ging deshalb zurück.
