Re: Simple Menu for Dementia

Sorry my post was perhaps misleading. I set up my favourite channels.  The channel numbers correspond to the numbers on the keypad. Now I don't need to use the sky menus simply press the button on the keypad for a channel. Press sky to access recordings.

Re: Simple Menu for Dementia

I don't think Sky are bothered about this. I have been seaching these forums for this kind of help for a disabled father and it looks like people having been asking Sky,for years, to help. Lots of people over the years have asked for the simple remote but Sky's idea of a disabled/elderly remote is just the old Sky remote with a bit of rubber around it. Sky have even gotten rid of some remotes that were made to make things easier e.g. remote with handle on.

My dad had a massive stroke, which has left him unable to read and write or speak. He can only use one hand. I have been trying everything so he can change channels when he wants, rather than the nursing home staff. I tried the flipper and other remotes . The flipper would be perfect except you have to wait before pressing the up down buttons again. He can't do this. I just need a remote that + - channel works as soon as you press it. Can't seem to even find this.
