Comcast EAS interruption
Is this happening to you? Any way to get around it?
I have Comcast for TV and have an HD box. Lately, when there is a severe weather warning anywhere in the Central FL area, the TV switches to WGN channel, broadcasts the weather alert and then shows the alert as a text crawler (which appears to be repeated 3 times). During this alert, you can't change the channel... I.e. the remote is frozen. Once the crawler completes, perhaps 3-4 minutes later, the TV switches back to the channel I was watching.
Don't get me wrong, the EAS warning is important, but seems to me you should be able to switch off of it when you got the info.
