After that i shutdown my vdr-box, and it will  wake up automatically with the bios.-settings from nvram-wakeup. If i'm booting my vdr-box the next time, i will  set the user-inactivity-time back to e.g. 120 minutes.

The Timers menu is not the place to define such an option.
I suggest somebody should take a closer look at the shutdown mechanisms in
vdr.c and see whether it could be made so that if a recording ends that has
been started after an automatic reboot, the shutdown is immediately triggered.
If I'm not mistaken that's the way it's supposed to work - but since I don't
use this feature myself I don't get confronted with this.
