Thank you for input. I wasnt going to put AC on a power strip, I was going to connect powerstrip on AC terminals and then only TV on a power strip. Well, my plans are changing it seems :)
Also Im not worried about lowering life of TV, but it sounds wrong and I want to avoid everything thats not best practice
Assuming this is a VRF/DX split system you can often hang a small Outside Air Fan off the indoor unit power supply with no problems but anything over an Amp or so you are starting to risk overloading the PCBs in the Condensor unit as they dont have the same current carrying capacity as the cables typically used.
Also not sure about the regulations where you live but you also need to comsider if the GPO for the TV would still be RCD/TCBo protected.
Overall its a bad idea to be putting any non-HVAC related equipment on a circuit designated for an AC unit, this will be confusing and dangerous in regards to power isolation for an electrician doing work in future.
Thank you. 1A is not what I need, but it feels bad after reading this. 1A is only ~220W which seems like dangerously low
