And usually these sticks draws a lot more power than the ~100mA that the n800 can supposedly deliver.
Shouldn't the DVB-T device do most of the hard work (decoding) ?

I've run hardware decoders before on really crappy hardware, they didn't tax the CPU at all, maybe these devices are different, though. *shrug*

They probably do use more power than the N800 can supply, but it's actually possible to deliver up to 200mA.
