This remote was simple to program (had to look up the instructions since they were not in the box, but that was easy enough). My dad (93 year old) likes the simplicity of the remote and being able to turn on/off his tv and cable. His cable remote was A LOT more complicated and if things didn't work he would press whichever button without reading what they are. The Flipper is nice and simple, EXCEPT it would be nice to have a guide option on the remote. Since it doesn't he still needs to use the cable box remote to check out the guide to find programing/hockey, which will lead to him pressing other buttons and getting confused. So if you don't use the TV guide then this is a great simple remote. Would be great to add a guide button on the next model!!
