The converter converts 120vac to 12vdc (ok, 13-14.6 vdc to both charge the battery and run lights, fans, furnace, and assorted other 12 volt control boards and such.. Normally it does not power the Television (Though no reason you can't have a 12 volt TV)
An INVERTER takes 12 volts and converts it to 120vac which normally powers Televisions.
You should never have a problem with "12 volt stuff" kicking in as if you have a good, 3 stage converter (or an in-line inverter which includes a 3-stage charger module) your batteries should always be on-line and thus if you loose shore/generator power `12 volt continues without interupption.
However if you have an INVERTER and the batteries are weak, low or the connections are in serious need of attention... It won't work.
