Crossword Genius

TV controller accommodated in Derbyshire motel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remote

'tv controller' is the definition.
(remote control)

'accommodated in derbyshire motel' is the wordplay.
'accommodated in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'REMOTE' is hidden in the letters of 'derbyshire motel'.

(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "Controller of programmes" , "Cold" , "Far removed" , "Far distant in space or time" , "as from armchair to TV?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
