LCD TV's have fans that run 2-3 minuets after the TV is shut off to cool the
lamp. Failure to do this will reduce the lifespan of the lamp.

plug in a TV to the cable box and use the cable box to control current
to the TV?

I know is probably there for older TVS but what about newer TVs with
more complex circuitry?

Could I possibly damage anything within the TV but suddenly cutting off
the electricity with the cable box?
