Battery Backup

[gregftlaud]

What company is the best for buying a battery backup to use with my Directv DVR? I've read alot that APC is the most popular but i've also seen some nice ones on amazon.com from a company called Cyberpower that has an LCD display on their units. I'm trying to decide between these two. Any feedback would be appreciated on which ones u guys think is the best choice. I just want the battery backup for short (under 30 seconds) power outages. I live in south florida and we have alot of storms and power issues down here. Seems like the power flickers on and off at least once a day. (one plus i like about the cyberpower is u can lay it flat or set it up like a tower)

I've used Cyberpower, Belkin and Ultra

They all work about the same, but you really want AVR (automatic voltage regulation) whatever you get.
