Besides that I think that the Idea of that post was the question if the driver 
supports it now, I think there is a way that vdr can do about it: 
Maybe there could be a standby-mode of vdr , so drivers are not loaded and on 
a recording the frontend will be called and the driver power on. Don't know 
if it is worth the work , just an idea I had yesterday (don't have any coding 
skills, at least just a littlebit).
