Product Description

universal remote seniors in hand

Flipper TV Remote Seniors

Seniors watch the most TV

Seniors are watching the most TV out of any age group--over 250 hours per person per month, according to Nielson. But remotes are not designed for them. Flipper increases independence--and reduces caregiver time--by allowing the user to access their content when they want it. Gone are hundreds of useless channels, and midnight telephone calls asking for help.

Flipper is preset to common brands

Flipper works all major TVs and cable / satellite set top boxes (STBs) with one remote. Flipper is preset to Spectrum / Arris STBs, and many major TVs like LG and Vizio.

How it works

Once set up, Flipper will power on/off both the TV and STB box, the channel buttons will control the STB, and the volume buttons will control your TV speakers. Flipper also works with a cable-ready TV.

Key Features

  • The only senior-friendly remote specially designed for digital broadcast technology
  • Works with all major TVs, cable, and satellite boxes
  • Ships in Frustration-Free Packaging
  • Uses two AAA batteries (not included)
  • Large, Finger-Friendly tactile Buttons, Stylish yet functional design with full labels

One Time Setup - Flipper knows where to send the signals

Remote was used

Remote was used
This would be a 5 star review but the remote was used. I ordered one and set it up for my 98 year old mother. She liked it so I bought another one only one day later. The second one had a damaged box, two different batteries and the instructions were different from the first one. The first remote didn’t come with batteries which was another sign it was used since the second one had batteries installed. I bought this because Spectrum cable changed my mother’s cable boxes and she couldn’t work the Spectrum remote. This remote worked well with her Spectrum box and Samsung TV’s. I was also able to program just the 15 channels that she uses so she could just keep pressing the up and down buttons and the channel’s just repeat in a loop without having to go through the hundred other channels that the cable box has. Shame on them for reselling a used product at full price.
