When I totaled the power requirements for my generator I was sure to include the TV, DVD player and entertainment center requirements.

I have one drop cord dedicated to that section of the living room.

Also included were small window A/C unit, fridge and computer center - gotta’ talk with NautiNurse and the rest of the gang here on the Hurricane threads.

I would scrap the entertainment center, using only a small portable tv with antennae. Cable, satellite and phones can and will go out during/after the storm. Laptop with extra battery is a good investment.

Save the generator and fuel for small tv, fan, refrigeration, computer, battery and cell phone rechargers. You'll think of other things to plug into the generator like lights too. Otherwise, it's like fancy camping.
