The issue that may arise is when it is switched of for long periods of time, you might need to call and get an FS hit sent and a mains reset, should resolve.
Your box would have to be off for near on 30 days for the entitlements to run out. Even then if you left it for long enough the refreshes would come back through. The entitlements are played out over and over again in an ever decreasing repetition rate.

I think the OP is trying to cut electricity usage and hence bills. A box left in standby doesn't use much less power than being left on all the time.
