Another vote against power conditioners for any functional reason unless you live in a home that has major power problems, frequent brownouts, etc. Like others have said though, they do look nice in a rack and for some that's reason enough to throw one into the mix. There are a few edge cases like Jay mentioned where you might benefit slightly from adding one in, but most of them are pretty expensive for what you get.

How about a UPS? I was thinking of going with one of those to make sure my DVR does not get interrupted during power outages. (plus DirecTV usually takes awhile to reboot and reconfig)

I use a UPS on my setup, but I also have a pretty modest setup (aside from the M80s and EP350...). I bought it the second to last time my TiVo committed suicide (long story). I have a Belkin. It's worked just fine, although I've never tested it during an outage with the receiver or TV on.

I have a Belkin UPS and power distribution setup:  I use the UPS to power the TiVo, TiVo external hard drive and my DLP. I too, would turn off the DLP if I lost power, but at least the fan would cool the bulb and the TiVo will go on merrily recording! EDIT: I would never buy the "M" unit on principal alone! (Don't want to use their name...it makes them stronger!)
