I have two different inverters, both I suspect are modified sine wave inverts as they didn't cost much and just plug into the lighter socket.
I have seen this many times in the forums.. The MSW inverters are very "noisy" electronically, they may have "Harmonics" that extend into the television band but more likely they are hitting the digital decode frequency (What we computer types call baud rate) and interfering with digital decode.
You might be able to filter.. But a True Sine inverter is highly recommended.. AS I TYPE this I'm watching a TV show recorded via a TRUE SINE WAVE inverter.
