> > > Anyone know anything about plug in power supply AC adapters? My cat chewed up one that's attached to the TV antenna. I have another one here to substitute for it but I think it's more powerful. The original one has input of 120V 60Hz and 8W while the other one I have is 120V 60Hz and 23W. Would the latter one work ok (and just be overkill) or would it be dangerous to use it for some reason? I didn't compare the DC output on either of them. Is that a concern as well?

Hi Lar,
I don't know if you've followed the rest of this thread, but I agree that it's too risky. I'll buy something that is exactly like the one that's damaged. Thanks, as always, for you input.Kara
