If you have a supply problem, maybe try with an externally powered USB
hub, that way your STB shouldn't be strained too much.
OTOH I have seen a USB disk enclosure causing reboot of a PC at
insertion due to bad drivers, so it doesn't *have* to be a power issue.
(so if it still cycles with the powered hub, you may have to dig deeper)

I'm a software engineering working with a Set Top Box (STB) which has
both SCART HDTV and RCA TV connectors. I think I am having a power
problem with the STB when I connect a wireless NIC into the USB port. It
works great in RCA TV mode, but when I use the SCART HDTV settings, the
STB reboots when the USB device is initialized. I think that there is a
significant power drain in the system when the wireless NIC initializes
the transceiver. I also think that in HDTV mode, the power drain causes
the STB to exceed some critical threshold which causes a reset. Can
anyone point me to the right direction to information about the power
consumption of SCART vs RCA?
Thanks,
