Graham - from what I remember the EEC regulations do not actually prohibit it. They say the unit must be able to (current models) meet < 0.5W power requirements and that this must be the default option.
This requirement did not apply to units with decryption (Someone got the wool pulled over their eyes at the EEC?)
I can't imagine that WOL would get any sort of development effort. To make it work remotely requires a lot more knowhow than most users have. To make it work on the LAN would be much easier but there are a few other things I would like to see before this (DLNA server anyone?).
Sky boxes seem to have got over this because a basic box without subscription isn't a pvr. No doubt the real reason a Sky box without a paid for service cannot be used to record.
