Not only do we leave our 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter on 24/7, we also bought an UPS (uninterrupted power supply) to plug the Directv receiver into. If you have concerns about leaving the inverter turned on all the time, you could add an UPS. If the power goes off, the UPS will begin to beep, and give you approximately 5 minutes to either have the power come back on or to turn on your inverter.
