Can someone tell me if while parked, and you are listening to the dash radio with the ignition key on, does it prevent the tv from working off 12 volt dc power?

First, if you are listening to the radio, you could use the ACC setting (I can not, however tell if that messed up the TV) or perhaps switch the radio to aux battery power.

IF the TV runs of 12 volts odds are it will NOT be affected

if it runs off 120, it will, at least if the switch is in ON (not acc) position.

But why would you want both TV and Radio at the same time? Story follows:

years ago I was watching the World Series at a campground in their T room, Well their TV had a problem, bad transistor in the audio circuit, sounded like..... Well i won't use that word here.

I told the assembled I'd fix it and went to my camper, came back with the BOOM Box, tuned to WJR and Ernie Harwell calling the play by play, We turned the TV's audio to OFF.. For years after, that is how everyone in the room watched a Tiger's game.. Alas, Ernie is gone now, and his replacement is .. Well.. not him, he was the last of the great play by play men.
