genie power consumption

I am planning to purchase a back-up UPS to use with my genie dvr to prevent shut off for brief power outages in order to avoid lengthy reboot..  How much power does the genie consume.

I use a APC battery Back 1500  for my TV & Directv Genie my avr -- It will hold them for about 4 hrs --However I do not use it for that -- I use more for immediate power fail or brown outs -- Which is best -- IF the Power is gone for longer -- I have a Potable Gen and run an extension cord to the UPS and then We are back up and running
