i'm an electrician and the fact of the matter is
when you unscrew the bulb you open the curciut
same with the switch
the meter wont care or change
the tv uses minimal power when only remote off
so when your on vacation it will be cheaper to unplug.

there is conflicting evaluations on the undertaking of Shabbat elevator utilization, maximum evaluations state that its utilization is authorized in basic terms in specific circumstances, because of the fact it looks like a loophole, and it disrespects the cost of Shabbat, interior a similar way because of the fact the halacha forbids the wearing of things in a public area on Shabbat for extra then an 8 feet stretch, however the scholars of the talmud forbid wearing some thing for 8 feet, dropping it, lifting it lower back and wearing it for the subsequent 8 feet, whether it may be in accordance to the halacha, yet you're disgracing the Shabbat by loophpoling around. those with the opinion that it is allowed for each guy or woman to apply a Shabbat elevator, believe that god offered a series of regulations, and left some area for human beings to be able to delight in Jewish existence, and it is not seen a loophole, because of the fact interior the tip of the day, no obstruction of Jewish regulation is being carried out, and there is not any would desire to function to the regulation.

Believe it or not, it could make a difference.
It's true with a television that you could save on your energy bill if you were to shut off your t.v. by the actual t.v. and not the remote! Like your computer, it's better to unplug it at night even after shutting if off.
So, I would have to assume that, yes, you would get a small charge by doing what you are doing.

Once you break the circuit by any means you are not using electricity. However it is safer to use the switch
