Remote is broken: annoying (8)
I believe the answer is:
tiresome
'annoying' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'remote is broken' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'remote'+'is'='remoteis'
'remoteis' is an anagram of 'TIRESOME'.
(Other definitions for tiresome that I've seen before include "wearing" , "Fatiguing; boring" , "Is remote, being boring" , "Fatiguing, tedious" , "Rather boring" .)
