Hi, I have a 103 year old living with me and I have set her up with a Flipper remote controller. It does on and off, volume and channel changing up and down. I have programmed in her favourite stations.
The problem I have is that when she turns it on it goes to the Home Screen. Try as I might she can't get her head around picking up the other controller and pressing the back button
sounds like such a small problem but she gets quite stressed and tries to watch the tiny screen as she can't full screen it. Is there a way to disable the Home Screen and if not why not

@TechyTommy afraid there is no way to disable the home screen at start up
why ? basically because Sky don't want you to

Hi @TechyTommyIs there no way to program the on/off button so that a dismiss signal is sent immediately after the on/off.
(it's a dismiss not a back button)
