What is the capacity of your UPS? How old is it?
Your rear projection tv and cable box should not pull that much....a 500VA unit would be able to handle it.
I use to have a 750VA APC UPC, my 60" tv and dish receiver plugged in. During a prolonged power outage I was able to watch another 20 minutes of tv before I had to shut everything down.
Since then I've upgraded to a 1500VA unit and plug everything into it.
