(german, you might need google translate, but you can post in english)
* wakeup done by STM32 microcontroller board (either by timer set from
vdr or by remote control)
* power switched by MOSFET
* full systemd and vdr integration
* very cheap
Nice. For my old PC setup I built something simpler, using an ATtiny12
that would generate a wake-on-LAN or a PCI PME# signal:

It would even provide a signal to tell VDR if the computer was powered
on by the remote control, or due to some other reason.
With a quick read (ich spreche Deutsch), I did not find a mention of
systemd or VDR configuration. Can you point to an example?
I think that in any case, I will test my systemd integration scripts on
an old Thinkpad laptop and a USB DVB-T stick.
I am happy with my current low-tech solution, at least for now. The
power consumption would be acceptable even if I left the system running
24×7, say, if I were away for a week or two. The consumption could be
reduced further by patching VDR so that it will shut down all tuners
when it is idle (instead of constantly parsing the EPG).
