I have always avoiding having the DVR powered on while in motion. I know that many do it without issues but the hard drive spinning as we travel some of the rougher roads can't be good for them and I know MANY folks who have lost their DVR hard drives while I haven't. I always shut down power to my DVR prior to hitting the road each morning. That is not an issue for us because there are only 2 of us (Quinn doesn't care about TV) and I can't drive and watch TV and Georgia reads or sleeps while we are driving. I would take a different attitude if we had others traveling with us.
