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.

Ours gets hooked up to the window A/C in my bathroom, the fridge, and the deep freeze. Anything else can just eat batteries. The A/C is a must-have.
