It's playing via a connected computer, playing DVDs and downloaded episodes. So you can only do something like that if you have access to the computer which is not in the break room. Not possible!
The break room where I work has this thing called a remote that lets you change the channel just by pushing a button.
OK but mine doesn't. And leaving a remote out for the TV is just asking for it to be lost within a week in a public place like that.

Look, it should be pretty obvious that letting employees manage the TV themselves is just asking for it to have the connection lost without knowing how to get it put back up. This way only HR can change it, which prevents that from occuring.
