You'll probably have to build an estimate from publicly available
datasheets.

A CX28543 chip in BT.656 Pixel mode (the mode used by ivtv) draws a
maximum 170 mA @ 3.3V plus 310 mA @ 1.25V all on it's own - according to
the publicly available datasheet.

The analog tuner mixer/oscillator, analog tuner IF demodulator, the
CX23416, the audio digtizer/mux, and the power regulation circuits are
the other big power dissipation items.  You've got a shot at finding
public data on the tuner chips and the voltage regulators.  The CX23416
you'll just have to make a guess.

You could probably just e-mail Hauppaugue and ask.
