I don't think so. You'd need some kind of "Wake On LAN" style header on the motherboard and then the IR receiver would need independent power. You could possibly make something like that to use the Wake On LAN header? > Or do I have to use some sleep function that is only actioned when using the > power button on the remote control? With all the talk about "base load" on the power grid, I think there is a major opening for someone to come up with an infra red controllable power strip. This way only the power strip itself would be sucking down "phantom power" (the power used by all these devices on "standby") and you could use your remote to power everything up.
