RE: Anyone have the Stellar Labs DT-1200 HD Television Tuner / Recorder with HDMI out?

The power supply in my new DT-1200 burned out shortly after I bought it for $79.95. I traced the problem to a dead switching power supply. As a temporary fix, I wired a regulated +12 VDC 1A wall wart and a regulated +5 VDC 2A wall wart to the circuit board and mounted them external to the case on a power strip, so they turn on and off together. I had these wall warts in my junk box, so this fix didn't cost me anything. This rigged up power supply has worked so well for the past year that I've never bothered to order the proper power supply for the recorder. If you ever try this, Be sure to use REGULATED DC wall warts, or you could burn out the main circuit board. The DT-1200 works perfectly now that it has stable power and the recordings of HD broadcast are indistinguishable from the original broadcast. Incidentally, it records on a removable thumb drive that's not included with the recorder.
