YMMV, but I'm powering my Pi from my TV usb port (sharp aquos).
The Pi is overclocked to 900MHz (but not overvolted) and it is running rock stable.

I've measured power output of my tv set usb port up to 1040mAh: I know it is out of specs, but many tv vendors do provide 'overpowered' usb ports to have their users run external hdds with no issues.

As a general rule tho, use a short usb cable (mine is 10cm) and you'll have less power loss (less voltage drop due to cable length) : your Pi will run fine from the TV USB port.

This is now going way off original topic........

Mine is fine from the TV USB port if i only have the wifi dongle inserted into the RPi. So no HDD, no keyboard/ mouse etc. nothing, giving as much juice as possible the the wifi dongle.

Back on topic..... Xbian-config in XBMC is getting slower and slower to the extent i have to use a keyboard/ mouse for initial setup through Xbian Config in the OS.
