Family was watching TV before school this AM. The TV threw up some message from the White House that my TV was being force changed to receive some Emergency Alert from the White House.
My TV has changed to NBC and I cannot change the channel nor watch recorded TV. This is an Emergency Action Notification. Your channel has been force changed to receive the Emergency Alert from the White House ... that's the message. Declaring martial law to avoid the election landslide? Anyone else getting this, I'm in UVERSE. |

Same thing here. ATT Uverse. Was watching Fox News. Now it's on Today show.
"Your channel has been force tuned [sic] to receive the emergency message." They said it was on "orders from the White House." |
|
|
Well it cannot be the end of the world..... I'm the first to be talking about it on GD.
I turned the TV off and back on, I get the Alert tone and it goes back to NBC. My entire TV is now useless. Note: This doesn't say that it is a TEST of the EBS, this shows as a pending Emergency Alert from the White House. Crazy. |

mother fuckers, Its doing it to mine every few minutes and I can't change it without turning it off and on again. Even when watching DVR it changes it, to the fucking today show none the less

Maybe the SOB in the White House meant to send the SOS out to democraps around the nation regarding the election and accidentally sent it out.....the Proverbial Reply ALL curse.
:D Martial law, cancel the elections over ebola? |

They said it was on "orders from the White House." Thats exactly what it says. Pops up every few minutes. Stuck on the Today Show. No control over system, can not record screens, either. |

If so, it kills the signal to change channels, while you get to watch your recorded shows. |

NBC is playing some brainless morning show here. I can change the channel. Although I only turned on the tv to check.

So does anyone else have cable or tv that can corroborate the tv snatch?

Interesting, I had no idea that was even possible but my old TV still has knobs you have to use to change the channel then adjust the rabbit ears and the aluminum foil to tune in. I dare them to try that with me.

Wiki:
An Emergency Action Notification (SAME code: EAN) is the national activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and can only be activated by the President or his/her representative (i.e. the Vice President).[1] The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) also carried the Emergency Action Notification. It has never been used by any President since its creation. |
