Why would he need a digital to analog converter? Is his TV that old?
Yes, it's an 03 Magnavox square screen built in cathode ray tube 120 volt. I suggested he get a Jensen 12v like I have in my new class C. He runs his generator probably 8-12 hours a day to supply power to the TV and Directv receiver. My HD Jensen TV runs off the house batteries and I have a 400 watt inverter that supplies the 120v for my Dish receiver that also powers my Winegard Pathway X1 with room spare. Also, 300 watts of roof solar so I have minimized my generator use.
He would also need to provide 120v for the digital to analog converter. I'm not sure what the amp draw is on that but I would have to get it and the new Directv receiver to make sure he has a inverter to handle it. Like I said, my system works fine with just a 400 watt since my TV is 12. He going to need a larger one depending on what he upgrades.
