Remote is broken -- it's 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'.
'it's' is the link.
(Other definitions for tiresome that I've seen before include "Wearying" , "Boring, annoying" , "So metier may be boring (8)" , "Fatiguing, tedious" , "Like a pain" .)
