I had a similar setting.  However, my Myth box would have problems if
the command to set the IR setting and a recording started at the same
time.  When I narrowed the issues down to the two items at the same
time I just canceled the cron job, didn't troubleshoot past that.

I read on the HDHR forums that they don't want to implement perm
settings like this, which seems silly to me.

So now, if the power flickers or whatever, I just need to run the
command manually.  Someday I'll need to give my wife an easy interface
to make the change since power usually flickers when I'm at work....
