There is power through the mini pci express connection that was enough 
for one connection.  I think you would need the LP4 if you were using 
all 3 firewire ports.

In the end, I went with the HDHomeRun Prime.  It hooks right into the 
cable out of the wall and ties into your local network.  That means no 
cable box and associated cable box rental fees.  My cable company 
(Comcast) was charging $10/month for the HD cable box.  The HDHomerun 
Prime pays itself off reasonably quickly, and it has three tuners, so 
recordings rarely conflict.  It also saves the trouble of modifying that 
NUC case for the firewire card.
