I had heard even some people's DVR's and Sat receivers were rebooting whenever power source auto-switched..
i think if you go re-read those posts
you will find that most were switching from generator to shore power
or vice-versa
generators "wind down", which means there is a voltage drop-off, before the transfer switch disconnects
the Sat box, shuts down on low voltage, but the ATS has not switched out to the inverter or shore power until the voltage lag gets lower (like less than 90 volts)
the other problem is some combo units (inverter/charger) have a slight time in mode delay in mode changing going from charge to invert functions
a dedicated always on inverter and separate converter/charger
Eliminates all those problems..there are NO relays or timers involved
