Anonymous Coward User ID: 29597745 United States 10/24/2014 09:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Same here. The fuckers are forcing me to watch the Today Show, and no emergency news of course. Quoting: SaveUSa Commie bastards. You can't change the channel??? I hope it doesn't ruin paw patrol, lmao My daughter was actually watching a recording of Paw Patrol when this happened in Austin. So, now the message came up, white house, eam, blah blah and went away after it changed to local NBC. But now I can't use any of the uverse features to change channel, etc. I've turned on and off several times. I guess I"ll have to do the hard boot. It appears to be a test on UVERSE in ATL and AUS. It took you off the dvr?? Yes and the test now appears to have ended after about 25 mins. One more reset and I can move again. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 43491069 United States 10/24/2014 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, it is quite real, but appears to be a Uverse thing only. That said, the message does in fact say that this is being done on behalf of the White House, they are force tuning us to channel 4 (the propaganda channel), and that we should not make phone calls unless an emergency. The only way to change the channel is to turn the tv off and back on; however, it quickly "force tunes" back to the stupid Today Show. Maybe it's time to switch back to Xfinity. Apprently its not all uverse users because my tv is fine. |

An end to career politicians for real change. |

AHAH rebooting caused the original weird message to come up and then it made it force change. Must be a test |
