EAS override is inoperative, but only part of the time
I live in Ocala and whenever I get an EAS override on my cable boxes, I sometimes get Cox's "Call to subscribe" message, as though I do not have a cable subscription. It most recently happened around 5:05 PM on 9/2 (possibly related to Hurricane Dorian; portions of Marion County were under a Tropical Storm Watch as of the alert time) but happens intermittently whenever an EAS code appears on my cable box. The problem is compounded by the fact that, whenever I get an EAS message from Alachua County (via WUFT), the system works as intended:I get a sequence of 4 screens of text (2 in english, 2 in spanish) with 2 EAS audio loops, all detailing the alert,then back to programming. It's just that whenever the EAS message does NOT originate from WUFT that the "call to subscribe" message appears.1.6KViews0likes2CommentsEAS Code
Every night the box in my bedroom displays 'EAS' which I assume means emergency alert system. When I turn the TV on, the image is black and no sound. Doesn't matter what channel is selected. I can cycle through the cox activity menu and that is about it. If I run a diagnostic all signals are receiving properly. I have power cycled the box already and still get the same issue. Again, this only happens at night, probably sometime after 7p and lasts into early morning. I am at a loss..9.6KViews0likes0Comments
