I leave mine on 24/7.  My polling errors are almost always single
events that happen seemingly randomly about 1-2 times per hour.  I
have had a couple of instances where the polling errors occured
constantly for a 5 minutes or so, but those have by been the
exception.

I don't think you can power cycle the hdpvr via IR.
