Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The remote is simple to use once it's set up, but getting there takes a few steps. Someone has to enter codes or teach it signals from the old remote, then check that everything responds. A family member can do this in about half an hour with the written instructions, so guided setup fits better than a professional visit.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Flipper is a simplified universal remote that controls both your TV and a set-top box (a cable or satellite receiver) with a short list of large, easy-to-find buttons. One power button turns both devices on and off together. Volume and channel work left to right: press right for more volume or a higher channel, press left for less or lower. You can also save up to 30 favorite channels so the channel buttons skip everything else. It takes two AAA batteries, which aren't included, and it's set up in one of three ways: entering a code, searching for one automatically, or copying signals from your current remote.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Put in two AAA batteries, then pick a setup method: enter a code for your TV brand, let the remote search for a code automatically, or use learning mode to copy signals from your existing remote.
    2. Test the power, volume, and channel buttons on both the TV and the set-top box. It comes preset for most Motorola set-top boxes, but other brands need a code or learning mode.
    3. If you want favorite channels, program up to 30 and turn that feature on so the channel buttons scroll only through them. Plan on about 30 minutes in all.
