well that is all you can do with the free verizon software. 

I WILL let you know that there are third party devices, made by Sling that let you do that from the PC.    

It's called a slingbox, and not only can you change the channel you can stream your picture across the internet to your PC   😄  it's pretty awesome, I keep hinting to the Mrs that I want one.   😄
