Channel-surfing aid (6)

I believe the answer is:

remote

(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "TV control device" , "as from armchair to TV?" , "Far distant in space or time" , "Device for controlling apparatus from a distance" , "Cold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
