power conditioning

This is probably an old question, but here it goes again.

I have recently bought a generator for emergency use. I want to
occasionally use it to power the tv and/or computer equipment. I have
read numerous posts that state some generators operate electronic
equipment ok and many that say it fried the electronics. So here's the
question: What type of power conditioning is best for interfacing the
generator power to electronics? UPS? Inverter? Other?
