Me too and not just the TV but the satellite receiver had to do a complete reboot. I solved it by buying a small UPS like you would use for a computer and all of my entertainment system is plugged into it. Now when the switch is done the TV/satellite never miss a beat.
You can use a good quality PSW inverter (properly sized), as a UPS, simply by leaving it ON all the time for those sensitive circuits.
I have mine installed so that it feeds all circuits AFTER the air units and the feed to the converter. I simply trip the input breaker to the inverter and let the output feed those circuits while the converter is charging the batteries. Plus, I still have use of the ac if I need it.
All power outages/blips go completely unnoticed by the TV and satellite receivers.
