So why change 12 volt dc into 120 volt ac, then back to 12 volt dc?

Because if you have a sat TV box and/or a DVD/Bluray player you're gonna need an inverter anyways. I have two TV's, two sat boxes, a DVD, a Bluray player and a surround sound system and only one 12V receptacle located in a very inconvenient location. Since the 12V plugs are typically 8 amps or less, I'd have to either add extra high amp one's or beef up the existing one and run long 12V wires all over the place. Or I can just add ONE inverter and run it all with wiring all tucked neatly out of sight.
