FAQ
- How do I verify that my receiver is compatible with the Flipper? Aim the receiver’s current remote control away from the receiver /STB box and TV. Are you still able to change the channels or the volume ? If you can, then the system is not using infra red and the Flipper will not work.
- Can I still use the original remote control?
- Is it hard to configure the Flipper?
No, and we can help you. Call us or write to info@eugeria.ca. We'll be glad to help.
Yes, the original remote control will still work.
Customer Reviews
We chose this remote control because it has functions that typically require several devices. This remote control prevents seniors from accidentally pressing the wrong buttons. It is easy to set, feels nice to hold, and has large buttons.

Problem solved
My mother-in-law suffers from Alzheimer's and loves to watch TV, but it had become a nightmare because she couldn't figure out how to use her usual remote control. The problem is now solved!
Also, the connection to the TV was instantaneous.
I bought this controller for my mother-in-law. Pressing a single button instead of 3 digits and being able to program the remote so that she only has access to her favorite channels was a big help. Plus, there are no "mode and cable" buttons for her to accidentally press with the other remote. Plus, there are no 'mode and cable' buttons that she would accidentally press with the other remote." The result was that she spent days without TV, which in her case is almost her only distraction.
If we were ever to redesign the remote control, we'd have to add a ring so that a chain or shoelace could be threaded through it to attach it to her bed. Françoise loses her things, including her remote control. This is the 3rd one I've bought.
Works well. And it's good that it's white. My mother used to confuse her old black remote with a telephone.
The Flipper remote control has changed my father's life, as he has lost his cognitive abilities.
