<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi All,<br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks for your suggestions, I managed to get my HD PVRs working (both my original one and the new spare one).</span></p>

<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The problem was that I'd swapped the GREEN and the BLUE video input cables - easy to do in poor light when you're colour blind.</span></p>

Many vendors ship<br />power supplies/bricks/wall_warts that fail after a few years(**).<br /><br /><br /><br />(*) And you can only see the excessive ripple if you place<br />the device on your test bench under load. Just using a<br />typical consumer VOM to measure the voltage not under<br />load often shows you nothing of significance (and a lot of<br />cheap VOMs won't report the ripple even if the device is<br />under load). That is why it is just easier for most to try<br />with a different power supply.<br /><br />(**) they saved a buck or so per supply, and that can<br />mean real money (depending on your volume). Of course,<br />if you actually *can* sell millions and millions, you can<br />negotiate with the big boys and get quality supplies for<br />a small premium over the crap, and some companies<br />will do that, but smaller vendors don't have that leverage,<br />and the difference in prices is higher.<br />_______________________________________________<br />mythtv-users mailing list<br />mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br />http://lists.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<br />http://wiki.mythtv.org/Mailing_List_etiquette<br />MythTV Forums: https://forum.mythtv.org<br /></pre>
