SCART HDTV vs RCA TV power consumption

Q

QuasiCodo

I'm a software engineering working 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 then 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,
