A TV using 2/3 operating power at standby? I don't think so unless it is one of the few antique tube-type set that kept the tube filaments lit when in standby mode. And these have been quite obsolete for decades.
Graham B's estimate of 20% power during standby is probably more accurate across all product types but it would be a much smaller percentage for large products such as TV's.

Yes they do. My electricity bill is not as expensive as it was a year ago when I left my tv, dvd player, phone charger and electric cooker all on standby.

Some Tv's use up to 2/3rds of the amount of power on standby as they would if they were on. if its your electricy bill its up to you if you want to pay for something that is not being used, however if its someone elses bill and they have told you this, respect the fact that they are paying for it and save them some money.

No......they use some power but very little. It's all a big con as usual.
Never switch your telephone off if it has a mains operated base station.

no, not nearly as much, but they do use some, and it's those millions of little 'some's' that worry the environmentalists.
