Emergency Alert - forced tuned my tv station!!! Just now | |
Revbo™ User ID: 16860056 United States 10/24/2014 09:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | perhaps its a dry run so when they need to really use it they know it's functional?? Quoting: Osti could be why its only affecting certain areas/cable providers?? Seems like it would make it pretty clear that it's a test, considering we're on very high alert, here, anyway. If it's not real, they just scared the hell out of a lot of people who have never seen a real activation of the EAS in their lifetimes. The delay could also be waiting for the other providers to post the message. It seems like it's only AT&T at the moment. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |

Quoting: Canuck_Hillbilly I'm getting a message that says the President has requested that we watch our local station. It's force tuned to NBC and we can't change it.

Anymous User ID: 64461646 United States 10/24/2014 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't make stuff up ppl. Just reporting what I am seeing. Curious to see if anyone else is seeing the same thing, and some are. There is nothing on Google had to search BING for results. On phone w ATT Uverse now they have no idea what is going on...If there is some emergency that DC needs to tell us about, from 6 a.m. until 9:19 a.m. I think they should tell us and GET ME OFF NBC!!! I do not like watching my news from the NBC Liberal Agenda channel. |

Term Limits User ID: 51319803 United States 10/24/2014 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The message scrolls pretty fast but says this is a real emergency, stay off phones, stay tuned to local channels for further info.. Also says its a uverse thing and if you don't have uverse to tune into local stations for emergency info Term Limits for EVERY elected and appointed office. An end to career politicians for real change. |

Someone said they just spoke to someone from ATT and they say it's a "fluke" and they are working on fixing the "outage". Quoting: bubby 64461387 Hmmm, well they just tipped their hand didn't they? In the event of an emergency, coup or other tyrannical move, we will only be able to watch the National Barack Channel. |

happyhippie21 User ID: 64461650 United States 10/24/2014 09:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in GA, u-verse att&t is my cable provider, Sam message for over 20 minutes....it doesn't matter how many times you turn your tv off it still force changes the channel to the today show. but if you actually read the scrolling message it says its specifically testing certain areas, don't use your telephone....and yet still no message we are being forced to watch has come up and or on. Seems really odd, and the fact that all three of my school aged children had just got on their buses and then this weird message crap happens just seems plain odd. I think if they are going to make me watch a certain channel, they should start paying my bill. |

Have TWC Water is 2 parts hydrogen & 1 part oxygen. What if someone says, "Well, that's not how I choose to think about water."? All we can do is appeal to scientific value. And if he doesn't share these values then the conversation is over. If someone doesn't value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic? Never stop questioning. Xoxo. |
