Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Many reviews mention a critical flaw where pressing the power button on the remote will sometimes power the TV but not the cable box. This almost kept me from purchasing the remote, because like many of the reviewers here, that issue would defeat the purpose of purchasing this remote for someone who needs an ultra-simple, hassle-free experience. But there's good news. The most recent version of the remote (V7) - which is what was shipped to me when I bought this on Amazon a couple weeks ago - can be programmed so it only turns the TV on and off, instead of the TV and the cable box. This is what it says in the manual about this feature. To modify the remote so that it only turns the TV on/off: -TV only: Press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 999. -TV and STB: Press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 998. I programmed the remote for TV-only, and it's worked great for about two weeks. The cable box stays on all the time, and the power button on the Flipper turns the TV on/off. No problems. I don't think this was mentioned in the instructions that came in the box. If you buy the remote, I'd recommend going directly to the Flipper website (flipperremote.com) and getting the most recent manual from their support page.
