+1.  Same thing happened to me two or three weeks ago.  I had seen these
threads in the past, so I grabbed another 5V 2A power supply and it powered
right up. I contacted Hauppauge with my serial number and they shipped me a
new PS as well.

My only complaint is MythTV (0.24-latest) kept recording empty 0-byte
recordings from the HD-PVR.  Not sure if this is a V4L or MythTV
deficiency, but I've seen it mentioned multiple times.  If MythTV starts a
recording and lays down 0 bytes in 5 minutes, it should fail the recording,
raise a red flag, something.  :)
