You could manually add a where clause to all of your recording  
scheduling queries to only search for programs within a certain  
timeframe. I don't believe there's anything built in to accommodate  
this. Most people who want the machine off when not in use will set up  
the box to wake up when the next recording is about to start and shut  
down when it's done.
