I'm using a SiliTek mouse IR commander and also a SiliTek IR keyboard
together with the silitek gpm driver for the PS/2 interface of the
SiliTek IR keyboard which is also used for SiliTek mouse IR commander.
For switching on remote I'm just pressing the right mouse button
twice on the mouse commander or the keyboard.  The system boots into
runlevel 3 and switches to the 8 VT on which VDR runs in keyboard mode just
like a mingetty.

Power down can be done by pressing the PC power button (I'm using the
powerswitch module to run a script calling `svdrpsend.pl HITK Power')
or by pressing the Power button sequence on the mouse commander or
keyboard.

VDR its self calls a shutdown script for using nvram-wakeup.
