The freeze and skip sounds like a weak signal. Is the dish aimed properly or was it raining?
I've run DirectTV sat receivers powered by a Heart 2500 MSW with no problms.

Works fine on shore power. Unplug shore power and it freezes and skips. Plug shore power back in, and it's fine. I'm perplexed.

So...Update...
It is only skipping/freezing on a couple of channels. I get Speed, Fox, ESPN, and NBC and their "sister" stations, so I'm good.

You take your chances with msw. Sounds like that's the problem.

I have Xantrex 2000 watt unit MSW and it works great with all my electronic itmes. DirecTV R15 DVR. Now I have since changed my R15 unit to run off a cheap 140 watt Radio Shack inveter so I can leave it on while boondocking so it will record and stay on track with the channel updates. NEVER have I had a problem. MSW only slows down motors as in our microwave.

New issue here.. sounds like you have a loose or bad coax cable. That will cause the type of problems you are having. Connect a new cable from the dish to the receiver unit and see it that does the trick. Sounds strange but that was the kind I problem I had once when I could get only some satellite channels.

We just had a thread relative to this particular inverter. Make sure the neutral wire on the inverter output goes directly to the neutral wire of the plug or device that it's feeding and that it's not connected to the common neutral buss.
