Interesting, I had no idea that was even possible but my old TV still has knobs you have to use to change the channel then adjust the rabbit ears and the aluminum foil to tune in. I dare them to try that with me.


Are you sure about that?   Seeing as how rabbit ears don't receive digital broadcast, as all OTA TV is now.


Huh?


Didn't we do the whole switch to digital thing?
Old TVs need the digital converter to receive stations now, right?

It's a digital thing I'm sure. They may send someone out to force tune your tv though. The message is "government is all knowing and all doing". Résistance is futile. The more you resist the more they make it hurt. It's a government job for somebody.

Cable TV version of EBS that was put into service a few years ago.  OP's cable provider has a fuckup of some sort causing that to happen since this isn't something happening nationally.  OP needs to call cable company and raise hell with them over this.

At least you didn't get one of those mass phone calls on your cellphone from Zero to go along with the TV message.

If this is for real, sounds like ATT's EAS system has been hacked. While a EAS unit may screw up in some way  there are to many coincidence's here to believe it to be a system failure.

EAS,  Emergency Alert System. it's the same system that gives weather alerts and is designed to give the president access to the general public on all channels and stations, TV and radio IN AND EMERGENCY.

There have been frequent "tests" of the EAS in my AO. Used to be monthly at about 3:45 AM, but there's been 3 in the past three days. They last longer and are formatted slightly differently. The test yesterday was a green bar accross the top of my screen telling me there was another test being conducted... Given the unique format and that it was at 3:00, I thought it was time to FO...

It would seem that an announcement is forthcoming.

That'll be a no-knock raid that busts your doors down, and then stations a gov agent / JBT right next to your TV to prevent anyone from physically changing the channel when indoctrination program is on, comrade.
