There used to be a document on Xantres's web site title 'Things that might not work well with MSW inverters" or something like that.
All manner of Audio, Video, Radio (including television and satellite) devices were on the list.
The problem is the title is qualified.. MIGHT NOT (or MIGHT) work well.. there is no way to tell till you try it.
MOST COMMON issues are: Pixelation (Picture degradation) Loss of signal lock, Noise (Buzz or hum) in audio,, Lines on Picture,, "Watusi Effect" (Picture waving)
VERY RARE: Damage requiring repair.
Sometimes simply moving things around will clear it up.. Other times not.
Suggstion: PURE SINE WAVE inverter.
