What UPS should I buy
 

I need one for a 32" TV & DVD player & home stereo. What size should I get?

You must really love your TV.

Go here: APC

Look at your TV/DVD player and stereo first and see how many watts they use then decide how long you need to be able to run on battery for. After that it should be pretty easy to see which one suits your needs the best.

Just tired of little blippy power cuts screwing up my timer settings so that the recordings that I set don't happen.

Yah basically:

During this time, it was well known that computer systems required back-up power solutions. It was quite common for a mainframe computer to have a large uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and generator installed in tandem. APC came at the market from a different perspective. Industry trends involving the personal computer made APC management realize that smaller UPSs were necessary for the market that included personal computers, PC servers and their networks

apc is the brand name, but avoid the ES series like the plague. i've seen nothing but bad with them over dozens of units.

i have an apc smart-ups 1000 and it's great.
