Yep! Plus the tuner card itself can use 200mA or so, and if you want to use any other USB accessories they'll be drawing power as well. I unfortunately have too much experience using "phone chargers" that had enough current to run it 90% of the time, but under hard load would cause enough voltage drop on the 5V rail to reboot the Pi.
