You could do what I do, just unplug the receiver when you're not using it, like before you go to sleep at night provided of course you don't need to record something in the middle of the night.
Additional, the hardest action on a hard drive is power startup and shutdown, I.e., spin up and spin down; the spin up in particular. A past job that I had was writing SW for hard drive longevity studies.
While over heating a HD does shorten its life, repeated spin up/downs significantly increases the chance of crashing the R/W head and basically destroys the drive. This was a problem in the old 5xx receiver days with the Seagate HDs Dish used.
This isn’t quite as true these days as it once was (hard drive manufacturers have improved drive reliability), but it is still a real issue.
This is why data centers never turn the power to hard drives off once they are first spun up if they can at all help it.
