Power Inverter

When the lights go out,which is quite often, I have attempted to power my converter with one of several power inverters. I have wattage outputs of between 800 and 2000 watts and none can bring the antenna online. I am not sure if the unit requires a pure sine wave as opposed to the modified sine wave of most inverters. Also the RMS voltages are close to the required 115V. A reliable pure sine wave inverter will cost me 500 dollars or more and don't know if it is worth the investment. Got any ideas?
