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.

I totally agree with you 110%. Every time they hijack the station your watching, I nearly have steam coming out of my ears! They freeze everything so you're in lock-down until they decide to let you go! I had Time-Warner back north and although the signal is grating, at least they don't force you to watch another channel until their done with their alert!
