I'll second that.  When my hdpvr "died" a few years ago, I probed the voltage coming from the adapter and saw it was low and crazy ripple-y.  So I cut the cord from the adapter and soldered it to a USB connector.  I found a 5V 1A USB charger, plugged it in, and it's worked like new ever since.

Might even work plugged into one of your PC's USB ports...
