Does it cost more money to turn off a tv when left a room and then back turn it back on in a few minutes or does it cost less money to just leave it on when left a room for a bit?
There are two factors to consider: 1. How much money will be saved by the savings in electricity when the TV is off? 2.Is the life of the TV reduced by turning it on and off frequently, so you will have to pay to repair or replace the TV sooner?

When I read the title I also thought you were talking about energy savings (everything’s about going green and saving money these days!). So, if I Tivo a show and fast-forward through the commercials, does it only cost me 2/3 of $4/hour, or $2.68? I wonder what the effect is of not being exposed to the commercials.
Then there’s the electricity I save by watching only 2/3 of an hour instead of an hour. I guess if I really wanted to save, I could turn off the TV and read a book. Barbarian – better yet, just watch TV with one eye closed!
