No problem having one installed. A whole house generator came with our resale house. About the only use it gets is its weekly automatic 15 minute exercise run. In 4 years our neighborhood power has been out for less than an hour 3 or 4 times and once for 4 hours. Would I buy one on my own, probably not, but TV has not experience a big hurricane in many, many years. None of my meighbors have a large back-up system, so I assume we would have a lot of house guests if the "big one" hits TV. As long as they bring steaks and wine, it would be party time for all!
