A little late in the thread here (vacationing here in Yosemite)
Just another point to add - if the UPS you are considering is for your HT,
what is the point of getting one that will make everything look and sound
FUBAR when the battery is engaged?

Definitely not. You are 100% correct. It's only a problem when the power
goes down as that's when the non-sine wave (typically a stepped sine wave)
becomes an issue. And no, it's not harmful to the equipment - it just looks
and sounds like dog doo-doo compared to a pure sine wave feed.
Obviously in broadcast, nobody at home cares if we suffer a power outage or
not as long as the coverage of the Games looks top notch so we can't afford
to use anything other than true sine wave.
Adios,
Tony

Sound quality will be worse when running off the UPS but shouldn't be
effected the rest of the time. (its only not a sine wave when running off
the battery) So is it ok to have bad sound during a power outage? (i.e. it
shouldn't do any damage to the hardware making it a requirement)
