Web based DVR - autotune?

Can you set the autotune via the verizon web based DVR controls?

As that's what I'd be looking to do (i.e. set the STB to turn to a specific channel on the actual screen while I'm on the road (I have my PC capture card set to record basically 24/7) )

thanks - though to confirm you are able to do it from your STB , but just not from the web, or not at all?

With IMG 1.9a, you can set a reminder on the STB, which will present a popup on the screen that the program you've set the reminder for is about to begin, asking you to either dismiss the popup or tune to the channel.  If you do nothing, the STB will tune to the reminder channel. 

BUT:  How about using your cell phone to control the STB?  Check out http://newscenter.verizon.com/press-releases/verizon/2010/cant-find-the-tv-remote-use.html.  I haven't tried this, but it might be a solution for you.

will that work while on the road, or only in the house (via router's wifi)?
