A closer look revealed the power LED was actually blinking green, but very dim. I looked at the power adapter and it was blinking red.<\/p>\n<p>Later that night, I went to SiliconDust, hoping to contact customer support in regards to this issue. From what I&#8217;ve heard, it&#8217;s pretty simple to get them to replace it for you free of charge. Turns out if you go to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.silicondust.com\/tickets\">Submit a trouble ticket<\/a> page, this issue is so big, that they actually streamlined it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>SiliconDust is offering replacements for the SW20-S050-15 power adapter shown.<\/p>\n<p>A failing power adapter may result in one or more of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flashing power light on the HDHomeRun or failure to power on.<\/li>\n<li>Flashing red light on power adapter.<\/li>\n<li>Zero signal-to-noise quality (snq) on all channels. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your HDHomeRun included this power adapter please see this page for a replacement power adapter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you go to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.silicondust.com\/hdhomerun\/power\/\">Power Adapter Replacement<\/a> page, all you need to do is enter your HDHR device id (located on the bottom\/back of your HDHR unit). They then verify if your HDHR unit actually came with a faulty power adapter and if it did, it prompts you for your name and address.<\/p>\n<p>After submitting that info, I should be getting my power adapter in 3-5 days. I guess it&#8217;s good timing since new seasons for TV shows are just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p><ins datetime=\"2008-08-15T08:03:23+00:00\"><strong>Update<\/strong><\/ins>: Got my replacement power adapter today and once again, QAM HDTV on Vista Media Center works again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For quite some time, I&#8217;ve been hearing about people having faulty power adapters on their HDHomeRun on the Microsoft distribution alias.
