Senior friendly TV remote

[senior]

When is BELL going to recognize the need for a senior friendly remote? The current model has both very small characters and buttons. It is very difficult to see numbers and manage buttons with arthritic fingers. Given the largest growing demographic is the senior population, providing a larger remote should definitely be a priority!

Good Day @Tvizz 

As previously discussed, I have researched the technical specs for the Flipper Big Button Remote. It supposedly will work both your TV and cable, satellite, or over the air DTV box with only one device!

The Flipper Big Button Remote for seniors is strictly an infrared (IR) device and does not support Bluetooth.

According to their support site it is compatible with:

Common STB / Cable Box Codes – Flipper Remote

 Flipper Support Remote

It's supposedly compatible with all major TV brands including Sony, Samsung, LG, and Hisense. There are limitation: it does not work with streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, or YouTube since it doesn't have navigation buttons.

It's designed specifically for traditional TV functions - power, channel, and volume control.

I will leave this with you. 

Let us know if this will meet his needs & work for you.

Take care.
