Flipper is something you find in Angeles City... A remote is something you lose misplace in your video room on a regular basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I had the term stuck in my head from the 1980/90’s when C4 in the UK used to air The Gary Shandling Show when before the break he’d say “ no flipping”. I stand corrected on an incorrect assumption Edited June 12, 2020 by AJSP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper63 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 This is my old remote that came with my Samsung tv. They pretty much all look something like this. And this is Samsungs newest remote that came with my brand new 65 inch tv. A bit of a difference I'd say. I find it very easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
