Power Usage of Tivo

It's like a computer - if the computer is a Mac Mini

It's a fraction of a typical PC - around 20-40 watts.

Get a UPS for it. One of the 350VA units is fine for it.

Get a UPS? I think the question was, is it too much for your fuses. That would be a big NO.

They are NOT going to blow your home fuses unless there is a problem with them. And usually problems big enough to pop a home fuse, wont go away after replacing the fuse.

I would assume you also have TV's and Monitors plugged in, they have surges for degaussing and their power supplies. If it is rare, i wouldnt worry about it.

Heck, adding a UPS will probably double the power consumption Seriously (for a single tivo)

Okay. Apparently fuse that is blowing has my computer on it but not a Tivo. That's good since I just bought another Tivo.
I guess I'll have to get an electrician to check it out. I put the new fuse in but it is third time it has blown. Hopefully it is a short or something but made me fear my new Tivo would cause problems, so I trust not.

Your PC and Tivo do not consume much electricity. Most likely your fuse problem is caused by some larger electrical appliance on the same circuit .... things like heaters, hair dryers, kitchen appliances, or too much lighting can easily overload circuits in an older home. Just be sure that you're replacing that fuse with the SAME SIZE fuse .... don't try using a bigger fuse to keep it from blowing or you might just burn down the place. Seriously.
