How much energy does a CRT TV take when powering up from cold?
How many times is that TV turned on and off during a 24 hour period?
How does that compare with the energy use of that same TV during it's standby periods?

Then you have the information needed to decide which is better, standby or shutdown.
Can standby be changed so that it does the same as the off switch, but keeps the IR reciever on, so when you press the button on the remote, it simply trips a relay which then turns on the TV as if from a shutdown?

With a LCD TV, I take it they don't have the same standby running costs?
