Maybe this is what you want (these are the settings I use so that when
somebody goes away and leaves it running it eventually shuts down):

Front end idle
(Setup->Video->Playback) Live TV idle timeout 60
Setup->general->shutdown/reboot settings -> idle time before entering
standby mode (mins) -> 5

These apply to shutting off if you are watching live tv. If you are
watching a recording if will play to the end of it.

In conjunction with these I have a bash script that shuts down the
system when there is no connection to the backend.
This runs continuously

    while true ; do
        sleep 300
        if  $scriptpath/mythshutdown.sh ; then
            setsid $scriptpath/systemshutdown.sh || true
        fi
    done

This is part of monitor.sh. See the script and the other scripts here
