Tom,
which one?
Screech,
if the component in question is literally just an A/V switch, it requires very little power when it is on. If it has the ability to respond to an IR on/off command, then its power supply is working and its IR receptor is on. Chances are good that when you turn the thing on, the only difference between that and "off" is that the video output appears. If that is so, then you are not saving on power at all by turning it off, so the question arises:
How about not turning it off?
If you want to have a blank screen at some point, and that is why you turn it off, do you have an unused input you can swirch it to?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
