I wonder about the initial assumption that a small generator is unsafe
for TV/PC. Isn't the generator's output pretty close to a perfect sine
wave - better than what comes out of a UPS? The frequency may go up and
down a bit - I don't think this is a big problem unless you are using a
turntable. Voltage will waiver but if you don't overload the generator
this might not be too bad.

If you wish to use a UPS w. the generator, be sure to buy one that has a
sensitivity switch to ignore generator variations.

For the most part, yes.

OK, inverters come with outputs in true sine wave and modified sine
wave, with the modified wave units being more common and cheaper. Will
tv's & computers work ok with modified sine wave inverters?
