Cooper has implemented such a thing. It turns the computer every night 
at 2 a clock on so VDR can do a EPG scan. But this works only on a two 
(or more) card system.

Currently you can't tell VDR to do a epg scan now instead of waiting X 
hours.

Buy a second card and look at Coopers "poweroff.pl" version. This is 
the only solution i know about.
