[mythtv-users] HD-PVR Power Adapters

[Richard Woelk]

When my HDPVR 1212 power supplies started going, I cut the ends off and
connected them to a hard drive molex from inside the computer. This works
well, and the HDPVRs are actually a lot more stable.
It is probably a good idea to put a fuse in it.
