If the power strip method don't float your boat, get a schematic for it and examine the CRT heater wiring...
This set may have a "vacation" or "instant-on", etc. switch to disable it (look for it on the back).

get one of those remote switched outlets sold for Christmas lights. its a small remote that has 3 buttons, for 3 different remotes. Then plug in the tv to it, leave it on (I assume it has a manual switch and not a logic switch). This way you can defeat the instant on AND have a remote to turn it on. I use this setup on my SS Avanti, works great.
