HDD Freezing While Plugged Into FTA Receiver

    The other day I purchased a Triax TSC114 Saorview receiver.
    This gives me all the FTA channels for Ireland (Terrestial) & all the UK FTA channels (Satellite).
    I also purchased an Intenso 320GB external Hard Drive which is converted to FAT32.
    My problem is that while recording any channel the picture on the TV freezes about half way through recordings.
    This means the recording stops as well & the LED light goes out in the external Hard Drive.
    It also freezes before recordings start or even if it's just plugged in.
    I'm just wondering as to why this is the case.
    I have also tried NTFS but, the same problem.
    It seems that the receiver is not providing enough power to the HDD.
    Is there an adaptor/converter I can plug into the mains & also be able plug the USB part into the receiver & the other end (Mini USB) into the HDD?
    I would need all this in one unit.
    If there is I would be grateful if someone could provide me with a link.
