Question: Do you want to be able to control the new SBR with your
SBx-remote?
    
- Of course I want to!
- Nah, why should I?

Look at BottleRocket -- with X-10 or Insteon appliance modules, you can
use BottleRocket to have the power to your receiver supplied when your
player powers on, and shut off when your player powers off. It's not as
elegant as IR Blaster (which I also use -- thank you, Felix!), but it
might be a good solution for the new Receiver. The gear you'd need for
X-10 is a CM17A Firecracker module, a TM751 transceiver, and maybe
another X-10 appliance module if the SBR is too far from the
SqueezeCenter host -- $25 - $40 USD on eBay (including shipping).
Additional SBRs should only need an appliance module, about $12 on
eBay.
