Disable Sever Weather Alerts
Is there a way to disable the Severe Weather Alerts I am receiving from Weather on Demand? I find them extremely irritating and annoying.

I've never had an EAS for a watch, only for warnings. With that said, it has always been for severe thunderstorm warnings, not just they typical thunderstorms. I don't remember what the NWS uses to classify it as severe, but I know it involves extreme wind speeds and hail.

If you are complaining that the community accepted solution does not apply, you would be wrong. @texasguy37 gave what is "the best answer:"
You can't disable EAS alerts with ANY TV provider. The alerts are mandated by the government. I suggest that you write your congressman.

Government mandated alert is yet one more intrusive feature of big government. If this is so important, let's just blank out the channel and show just the alert. Better yet, why not implant a government alert interface in our brain. Yes, I'm being trollish and absurd, but I think those alerts are not worth the trouble considering the number of people that are not affected.

Either hit the "Exit" button or the "Mute" button as quickly as possible.
I consider it a challenge.

Don't know what problem you have, but I'll hit Enter 2 times to go 2 spaces down.
Just like this, it works.
Turn your volume down, they are not that loud it'll blow out your speakers, at least here in metro Detroit. 😉

Not only is the Test annoying. Bad part is when there actually is an Weather Alert for our area, there is no warning on Uverse. Pretty sad, like crying wolf except when the wolf is at the door. We have had several alerts in the last 3 days here, and not one alert on the TV. Local stations just beep and post the alert at the bottom of the screen, and I have never seen them test their alerts. ??????
