That was one of the more cumbersome aspects of getting mvpmc set up. I was using the MVP with GB-PVR but GB-PVR has it's own server built in to serve dongles. I'm don't know if it's doing a full DHCP server or just shoving a 'next-server' bit out there and hoping the MVP will listen, but a user doesn't have to do anything.

Basically it's off (soft), and the remote power button wakes it up, but then the startup tasks go wonky. I can't remember if the remote will still soft power it or not - since I have to go yank the power cord so it starts up correctly I don't know if I bothered to try. I don't know if it is "hearing" any other commands because at that point there's no UI that would react to keypresses in such a way that I could tell.
