What do you call the device you use to change the TV channels?

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

I'm from Florida and we call it the "remote control" or just "the remote" and honestly that's the only word I've heard used for it. 

[Nye 1,652]

My grandparents on my mom's side call it the changer, and my grandparents on my dad's side call it the controls or the remote. I call it the remote as well.

I call it the Remote or the Flicker, not sure is Flicker is British slang in general or it's a specific regional slang though.

In our household it used to get called "The Oofah! or "The Ufah!" I'm not really sure why.

"Pass the oofah."

"Where's the ufah?"

Actually. A lot of things within the house had different names.

when i was young, me and my siblings were used for that purpose so it went like "x / y, go change the channel"
later, we called it tele-control

[Patty Thundersnow 4,129]

The tv remote is the normal I use.

[The Historian 515]

I just call it "the remote." Though I have heard of it referred to as "the clicker" before.

[Venomous 18,813]

In my house, we call it the “controller”. We rarely ever use the word “remote control” or just “remote”. I don’t know if that’s a Midwest thing or what XD

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Generally, the "remote", but occasionally I hear it called things like the "clicker".

I call it a remote. My grandmother called it a clicker though. I think from now on I'll call it an infrared ray projecting space modulator.

I call it the remote.

[Prospekt 10,984]

My family and I have always just called it the remote/remote control.

[Rikifive 23,472]

In Poland we call it pilot, where pilot simply means pilot. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

I say remote, sometimes remote control.

[Denim&Venöm 16,459]

Remote.

Though for the Amazon Fire TV service, I call their remote the Swizzle Stick. 

[TBD 17,228]

I called it “Remote controller “

[Mini 451]

"the remote"

pretty grand title

[TheRockARooster 47,228]

It’s controller or remote where I come from.

[Troblems 5,608]

“The clicker” or should that evade me, the thing accompanied by a lot of hand flourishes towards the fan, because gotcha, I don’t use a tv clicker. I do use one for the fan though.

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Uh... well, I didn't grow up with one, so I don't really have anything that I call it specifically.

I dunno, I suppose I'd call it a "remote controller", or "remote" for short, but... meh. x3

[Prometheus 3,038]

We call it the "Doofer". No clue why tbh. 

[EpicEnergy 22,064]

Me and some of my family members call it the remote.

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I just call it the remote

[Cagey 4,205]

People where I live call it a remote or remote controller, but I usually call it a clicker. In hindsight, it’s a weird nickname, but reading these, I’m glad I’m not the only one. 

[Moonlight 7,279]

just remote and never heard of anything else until now...gotta admit, clicker sounds kinda neat
