It can take time to reboot, especially a satellite to get a signal after interruption.
Are you sure when the tv came back on it was on inverter power vs the EMS allowing utility power again?
Depending on how your inverter is wired you could just cut utility power when voltage is running low and run full time on inverter. If it just runs some outlets you can probably turn off the breaker that feeds that branch circuit. This will avoid the reboot.
Actually I think what happened is that the inverter kept the dvr powered and only the tv rebooted because there was no dvr reboot, signal seeking, etc as is usual. The picture just reappeared again on the tv. It seems as though the tv was on the shore power all along and came back on when the surge protector restored power. Strange, since I have run the tv, dvr, and satelitte all on inverter before.
It appears that having the inverter on all the time does prevent dvr reboots so it is worth have in even if the tv goes off
