Keep it on standby !!!
Ramona Why have you started to switch off the TV at the wall socket ?
Darell Well I've been reading how wasteful it is to keep it on standby.
Ramona But it takes the TV time to warm up when you switch it on again.
Darell Only about thirty seconds, if that. That's not very long to wait.
Ramona So what's the advantage ?
Darell Well if everyone in the country did what I do, this article says that we could do without at least one power station.
Ramona If that's true, I suppose it's not such a bad idea.
Explanation :
 
On standby - When a person or a thing is on standby they are ready to be used if necessary
 
Example : The red light on the television shows that it is on standby.

Get decked out

Keep up with

I'm beat

Get a load of that

Brain freeze

When it comes to haggling

It seems to be catching on

I'm up for that

I'll pass
