Who said anything about inverters and satellite boxes
The thread is about two 'inverter generators' ( the only type the general public can safely parallel )
Not a satellite box being turned off on
Not generator switching to inverter power
And wether or not to leave one Not running, still connected with the PARALLEL kit while the other one is running
Yes you have to start one first, because the second one 'SYNCS' wave form to the first one, and yes one might run out of gas before the other one
But that's likely to be seconds on start up and minutes on running out of gas
Not hours of running time
I don't have a satellite box
But ALL my electronics are on inverter power , so I can use them with or with out generator or shore power
