Tv operation on battery power?

Hi there,I'm a newbie to camping with a TT. I have a 2016 grand design trailer and have made a couple of trips where I have overnighted at a truck stop. I noticed that when I am on battery power, my tv's don't work. Is there a way to have them work on battery power? I like to have them going to drown out the hyw noise at the truck stops.

Thanks in advance for any input.
Rick

    Is this an inverter that you wire at the battery? Or the tv? Like I said I am pretty much a newbie. More detail would be a huge help.
    Thanks
