Even on basic cable? :unsure:

Good thing I have DirecTV. :happy:

I have Qwest, on basic cable they don't do the black screen in my area. It has a ticker at the bottom of the screen of what you were watching and the EAS Tone and Same header come on.

Might be unrelated, but I thought I'd follow up on my previous post, in this topic, and say that my tornado sirens work again, now.   :clap:  Still not a well working TV-EAS, though.  Typical.

Still getting visual info but no audible info.  Our TV EAS really stinks <_<
Wish I had a WeatherSTAR 4000. Brings back memories.

No it's not just you. There have been numerous other topics about EAS in other twc forums. I don't know why the excitement lol.

LOL don't worry. :) Maybe if someone can tell me what's so good about EAS then i'll understand. Is the beeping noise cool? Is the scrolling message weird?
