Well, in the real world I don't actually use a verb for the remote. I "change the channel."
Now, if I were a cartoonist drawing a person in a room changing the channel, I wouldn't have this option, because there's no one else in the room for him to tell that he's going to change the channel. So I would instead probably draw something like the word click above the remote in the picture to alert the audience that this has happened.
