An emergency notification with no emergency?
I'm getting a message that says the President has requested that we watch our local station. It's force tuned to NBC and we can't change it. I don't see any emergencies, just the Today show. How do I shut this off? thanks.

Just to help spread the knowledge, this is happening in northwest Arkansas, too. My wife contacted me here at work to tell me what's happening. Seriously considering canceling uverse TV if we still can. We just recently added it to our uverse internet.

This is what we call a "1st World Country" problem. Which is to say, a very minor inconvenience at worst, compared to what other people are having to deal with in this world. Heaven forbid we go without television for a couple hours. I assure you President Obama didn't decide this morning to tick off a bunch of ATT customers and send a false alarm signal to our receivers. The EAS system itself is a fantastic idea. I personally want to know that if I'm mindlessly watching Tennis Channel one day, it'll be interrupted in the event of an actual emergency. It only took about two seconds to figure out that this wasn't the case today. Flip on TV, goes to Today Show, nothing happening, must be a glitch, oh well, move on.
I'm frustrated too, but all in all it's totally ok right now. Other things also exist besides this situation, there's a world outside of the TV. I'm going to enjoy it for a while.

There's only one resollution. Have the programmers fix whatever they changed. You should have the last working version of the software, so put it back in for boxes and the servers. Then have the group that obviously have no idea what they've done go in and try to better the code before releasing it a second time.
