Power draw will come from two parts
1) Streaming the file over your network using wifi to get it onto your device
2) Decoding and playing back the video (+ having the screen on)
So it will be more intensive that watching a video that is already on the device.
What do you mean more than wifi? More than watching a youtube video over wifi? - probably about the same.

I stream TV episodes approx 42 minutes to my droid X all the time and can watch 2-3 at least before having to charge my droid.

one thing that I like about the android setup, is that I can download the stream to the droid and watch it later.
