This is nonsense, the tube is not powered when the set is in standby mode - none of the HT circuit is powered in standby and thats where all the power goes.
Absolutely spot on!
For those that are interested, here are average standby mode power consumptions (in watts) for various appliances...
* Fax machines (with and without an answering machine): 4.7–11.6 W.
* VCRs: 2.0–6.6 W.
* TVs (68 cm): 0.6–12.7 W.
* Scanners (flatbed): 8.3–14.2 W on standby; 0.0–5.1 W switched off.
* Printers (inkjet): 1.6–8.6 W on standby; 0.0–8.4 W switched off.
The average power requirement of a LCD, plasma and DLP television when in standby is 1W.
The average power requirement of a CRT television when in standby is 3W0
