HD PVR just turns itself off - quite often

I'm fairly certain the AF-1805A D-link supply is a 2.5A, I'll have to drag mine out from under the cabinet to look.

Edited to say.... Yup, it's 2.5 Amps.

Since I replaced the power supply with a DLink I had laying around, no recording failures. The unit I used is an AF1205-B and supplies 2A.
(I still ordered another unit from Hauppauge only because I don't know how good or old the DLink is.)

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. This problem was driving me nuts and now it appears to be gone.

Well, I spoke too soon. The unit continues to fail with the DLink power supply, but much less frequently than before. Usually around 3pm and sometime overnight.

I replaced the original 3A power supply with a 2A DLink, but I will order a new ps from Hauppauge to see if their ps unit works any better.

Rats...
