UPS Ideas ?
This could be for an RV where there have been posts about TV receivers etc getting knocked out by slow switching 120v power inputs. In this case it is in the stick house. I have jury-rigged somethin...

I have rigged up a 27DC battery with a 300w MSW inverter, and plugged the two things into that. I have a spare deck mount converter on the battery and the converter is powered by stick house 120v. So that all works for being a UPS. However, the converter fan comes on every so often and is annoying. The inverter's fan is quiet so no problem there. It all gets as much air as possible.
Now save for the MSW (I would use a PSW) that sounds like something I'd do.:)
Seriously for your use that is likely find if it's not bothering the TV or internet when it cuts over to Inverter. If it does go with a PURE sine wave or TRUE sine wave (Same thing) I'd also suggest AGM battery for use indoors.
Had you not already purchased the inverter/battery set up I'd recommend a good Computer UPS from someplace like BEST BUy.
What do I use
Xantrex Freedom 2000 xc and about 500 amp hours worth of house batteries in an RV.. Before that I used a Prosine 2000 I like the prosine better (Way easier to install) But they quit making 'em.
NOTE: When I had I think it was Dish Network and used a MOTOSAT automatic dome.. It reset whenver the blasted power switched over.
Now I use OTA tv with a Dish parent company Digital converter (Uses same remote as the Sat Receiver but less buttons, Same menus Says DISH on it) it does not reset. In fact if power goes out the only thing I might notice is a slight dimming of lights or slowing of a fan till I look about at the indicator lights I have scattered about and they are dark.
