Non-Smart TV

I tried this for an experiment. Pi was powered down when TV went

Why would you need it powered if the TV is not in use?
I was more interested in having one powered up but out of the way - so 
I'd gone to the effort of getting a VESA mount and putting it behind 
the TV (Monitor) the TV was a portable 17" one that I'm using as my Pi 
Monitor - I wanted to be able to ssh into the Pi even when not using 
the screen/keyboard.
I also didn't like the Pi simply having the plug pulled - although I 
do it a lot myself with minimal side-effects, it's best to be 
expecting it!

Fair enough.. I'm going to experiment with the Custom Shutdown Timer which should shut it down cleanly..
