How many amps are required to run a tv DVD player and a tivo box?

To determine the amps required to run a TV, DVD player, and TiVo box, you need to know their wattage ratings. Generally, a standard TV might use 100-400 watts, a DVD player around 20-50 watts, and a TiVo box approximately 20-30 watts. Totaling these wattages gives you a combined usage of about 140-480 watts. To convert watts to amps, use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts; assuming a standard voltage of 120V, you would need approximately 1.2 to 4 amps in total.
