Flipper is an IR remote and requires direct line of sight to control devices.
Issue:
If the user
points Flipper away from the devices,
one device may turn
on while the other turns off,
causing them to be out of sync.
Solution: Modify Flipper to Control Only the TV Power
📌 Steps to Modify Flipper
1 Unlock Flipper:
- Press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 956
2 Set TV Only Power Mode:
- Press and hold ADD until the light turns solid, then enter 999
3 Check Standby Mode on STB:
- Some STBs (Set-Top Boxes) have a Standby Mode that can interfere with power settings.
- If your STB has this feature, disable it.
- See Standby Mode guides for Dish and ATT for details.
✔
Now, Flipper will only turn the TV on/off!
✔
STB power will remain unaffected.
