Can Flipper be used with recorded shows?

it will set itself to a remote control you are using. so if your remote works with recorded shows just program one of the keys to that function key on you remote. if it does not work send it back. hope this helps

No. It is designed to work with the TV and cable (or satellite) box. The reason it only handles these devices is to retain its simplicity. It's that simplicity which makes the Flipper so good for the elderly or those with memory problems. Handling more devices requires more buttons, more actions and a degree of recall lacking in a substantial degree of seniors.

there aren't any instructions. if your recorded shows worked with your old remote one of the programmable buttons will grab the device. it takes awhile thru trial and error.

No, it does not connect to DVR, just the channels provided by the service. What it does it does very well and is perfect for a senior citizen or any person who is unable to work a regular remote.

I don't think so... it's a very basic remote. Just volume/channel up and down, device on and off and mute buttons. Hidden under the slider are the programming buttons and numbers 0-9 which can control the channels, but didn't even tell my MIL about the slider and extra buttons to avoid confusion :)

yes. very simple instructions. if you have trouble you can email me. it has 8 or 10 programmable buttons or just simple on/off and up/down for station and volume.

I am not sure there are no buttons for recording of shows I do know this it made it possible for my Mom (91) to watch tv again

I'm not real clear on what Mark is asking. This is strictly a camera and there are no options to connect to YouTube, etc. I record on the Flip and then use a USB cable to export to my computer; then it can be put on YouTube, if desired. If this doesn't help, I'll be glad to answer further.

Yes, the deck is set up to record a tape placed in deck A onto a blank tape in deck B. Although i have not tried it yet there is also a high speed dubbing from A to B.

Im not really qualified to answer that, but I'll try to help. Although ive read that it will sometimes work right out of the box, its more likely that the Flipper will have to be programmed first before you can use it. One of the great things about it is that the programming buttons are concealed when not in use. And programming should be a one-time operation. There's a link to code list at http://flipperremote.com/support/ I think that as long as there is a code for your brand of cable box that it will work fine. Just my opinion, hope it helps. My experience with customer service has been positive, you may need to contact them.

No. It doesn't have a tuner built in so you would need to have a tuner, cable, or satellite box to record a program on this.

Sorry, but the answer is no, but if you have a blank tape you can record a disk on your tape.

I need more information to be able to answer your question eg. how are you trying to record shows?Do you have cable TV?

Yes, you can. A tip - make sure if you are combining two recorded shows to the same DVD they must be recorded at the same speed, i.e. only SLP recorded shows can be combined on the same DVD later. Otherwise shows that are recorded at different speeds will each need their own DVD.

Yes, you can - it has a manual VOR switch with setting H, L and Off. Have loved this recorder, though I use it mostly for playing tapes. It's very sturdy, still working after several drops, as I carry it around in a pocket while I'm working around.

I found labeling of recording programs to be very archaic. For instance there is a lower case menu, upper case menu, numeric menu, etc ... I have used Panasonic DMR's (ES30-ES46V) which have analog tuners but very easy to use (1-screen) to title a show.

The Flipper remote has program codes for most all makes of TV's that you enter into it. Without the proper code your TV will not work from the Flipper. In turn, your TV works from Time Warner Cable. Thus, I see no reason why it wouldn't work for you.............

Web site says coming soon. I have not been able to do this. Can download recorded show and take that with me so far

The recorder does have a manual set recording where you can select individual programs. User that method if you are not interested in reruns.

According to John Nelson that is not possible. "Another problem is the radio is unable to be preprogrammed to record at a future time/date, instead you must be with the radio to turn it on when the show starts." (Copied from the reviews section.)

I haven't had very good luck with either. The last Flip camera I owned stopped working for no apparent reason and the Sony Bloggies tend to shut down in the middle of recording. I purchased about 10 of these last year and have used all of them. This seems to be a problem with all 10 of them. I wouldn't really recommend either product to tell you the truth.

If you have a DVD burner already on your computer, than that works perfectly well with Flip (or so I've heard, considering that I haven't tried it yet with mine).

There is a record function button on the unit so I'm sure you can. However, I've had no occasion to try it.
