I think you would have trouble beating the amount of times the TiVO firmware fires up the hard drive in standby. It can be 2 or 3 times in any one hour period. If you switch it to always on, it would be permanently buffering 6 channels. Using the off switch is by far the best idea to stop wear and tear.
