Disable Sever Weather Alerts

@Putintain  Yeah, it was snowing here in metro Detroit yesterday aft, but it was 39-40° and it was all melting, so you can't go by that.

Now, at least here they are at the volume the TV is at, so pretty quiet on my HD volume setting of 13 on the TV.  One actually hit today when I just deleted a recording after watching it and was on the Recordings screen.

I would be okay if a tornado or even very high winds were in the alert... but I keep getting the alert about a freeze warning... dang it, it's snowing outside... I could guess that it was freezing.... It just seems that they are going to far... This is more of an intrusion than a warning.

Hi @Putintain - at least you are getting them for "weather."  The only alerts that I get here in Indianapolis are for the required weekly test.  Not for tornado warnings.  Not for Severe Thunderstorm warnings.  Nothing except for the tests.  Luckilly the weather hasn't been too severe of late, here.....

There is NO LAW requiring these alerts. I had Directv for 10 years and NEVER ONCE was I annoyed by any of this crap. It shouldnt be REQUIRED. MY 85 year old grandma was hospitalized with a heart attack because she thought she was in an air raid at 4:40 am. Who do I sue for that? It's going to be ATT!

The Emergency Alert System is a national public warning system that requires TV and radio broadcasters, cable television systems, wireless cable systems, satellite digital audio radio service providers, direct broadcast satellite service providers and wireline video service providers to offer to the President the communications capability to address the American public during a national emergency. The system also may be used by state and local authorities to deliver important emergency information such as AMBER (missing children) alerts and emergency weather information targeted to a specific area.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother.  I hope all is well.

As consumers, a right to privacy and have the CHOICE to get what we want when we are paying for it, we should be able to turn off this annoying alert! People never missed these alerts before they were introduce to the tv network. [Please keep it courteous]

ATT needs show its customers where it is against the law!!

It is NOT against the law and ATT is about the only one that claims this and will not give its customers an option!

I am about ready to dump ATT Uverse forever!
