Re: Flipper Remote Control Code for 360 Box

Hi,

Further to my other thread about the Flipper Remote and trying to get it to work with the 360 box, for completeness I wanted to outline the situation:

Unfortunately, the Flipper Remote, which is a widely available, specialist remote control for those with disabilities, will not work on the 360 box as the 360 box only uses bluetooth for its remote control communication.

Sky boxes which also use bluetooth, allow you to go into the settings and enable infrared, which therefore enables the use of specialist third party remote controls for those with disabilities..

Compounding this, Virgin Media do not currently have any accessibility remote solution for the 360, like they did with their previous boxes such as the Tivo.

I am sure Virgin Media are aware of this and sincerely hope they are working quickly on a solution.  As per other threads I have seen in the community, the 360 remote is very poor for the disabled as the buttons are small, the layout seemingly complicated for them, etc.  I cannot believe that in this day and age there has been this significant oversight.

Does anyone know of a solution?  Does anyone know of a third party remote control that will work with the 360 box?

Many thanks and regards,
