"Remote" and "remote control" but no "control"? :-)
In my parents' house it's called the "stick" — the first remote controlled thing we had was a Hitachi VCR and its control was long and thin. After that came the "telly stick" which wasn't quite so stick-shaped but the terminology had already stuck.
