 From memory they are a 5V/1A supply on a 2.1mm jack.

It's always possible that the power supply is the issue in this case, 
however out of hundreds I think we've had one bad power supply (which 
was DoA just the other day). I don't believe it's a concern for the 
NZ/AU power supplies.

The HDHomerun in general has proven to be extremely reliable, we've sold 
loads since 2013 and we've had one return in that time which was faulty, 
I think it may have been a firmware issue.
