“It’s ok but unfortunately when my Sky Q starts, it starts on the menu screen and this remote doesn’t allow you to get anything done.”

We're sorry to hear our customer is having difficulty with the Flipper remote and Sky Q. The problem with the start menu is a known one but we can massively reduce the rate at which the menu is displayed, and there are also workarounds. We discuss this issue in detail in our support article; https://docs.alzproducts.co.uk/article/373-flipper-sky-q-preventing-start-menu - we've also contacted our customer directly to discuss their concerns and see if there's anything else we can do to help. Kind regards, the AlzProducts Team

“I bought a a Flipper large button TV remote for my mother who is in her 90s. It is the first item I have purchased from AlzProducts. All I remember of finding the right product and ordering it on the AlzProducts website was that it was completely painless, and the Flipper then arrived within 24 hours I think. I admit I struggled at first setting the Flipper up to work the TV - which doesn't have a set top box - in my mother's care home, but the AlzProducts support team replied to my emailed plea for help excellently such that it probably took me less than 10 minutes to get everything working the next time I was allowed to see my mother in this pandemic era.”

“Very easy to set up (although looks daunting at first glance). My mother is mainly managing it once she recognises it as the tele thing. Much easier than the two remotes she was using before, she would always 'press the wrong button' so the tv would no longer work and we would get a phone call”

“Thought I had left things too late to find a remote that my dad could operate successfully but took a chance on this one and it is working well. He has said 'But it is so simple' to me several times now! No more phone calls telling me the TV has gone wrong. Very easy to install with an LG TV. Did not need to use the codes, paired instantly. Highly recommended.”

“I am still deciding whether to return it. Unable to set up. Have used every code for relevant TV and non match. Tried to do a code search. It turned TV off but does not find a code to turn back on. Support not very useful as have to email. It would be helpful to speak to someone or use live chat. Will try again but if not successful will be returning it.”

We're sorry to hear that our customer is having problems completing set-up for the Flipper remote. We are currently providing technical support to help get this working and have made progress. The majority of our customers get the Flipper working without issue, however, for some customers/setups programming can take longer and we're happy to provide expert technical support via email. We're currently having difficulty providing support via telephone due to remote working but are hoping to restore this in future. Kind regards, the AlzProducts Team

“It was tricky to set up initially but it works well with our Virgin media set up. Very easy for Dad to navigate. Money well spent!”

“My dad has mid-stage vascular dementia and severe visual impairment. His existing remote became impossible for him to use, so this seemed to be an ideal replacement. It was very simple to pair the remote (he only has Freeview) and he's found it very easy to use. No more panic-stricken calls to me because he can't get the TV to work!”
