COX EAS code Interrupts but does not display alert
I posted this before but did not realize the code that was displaying on the box. Every once in a while in the wee hours of the morning the show I am watching is interrupted. A code "EAS" is displayed on the box and eventually a screen pops up saying "For support or to activate services, call" and it gives numbers for residential customers and another for business. This lasts maybe thirty seconds to a minute and wipes out whatever show I am watching. It does not matter what channel I am watching at the time. Is this an emergency broadcast attempting to display but for some reason it is not working?
