Console-transmitted emergency warnings won't work.

Stupid! Won't work. If a person is asleep all of their electronics are turned off. Our cable system is constantly testing the emergency system interrupting programming. I have never received an emergency broadcast when my television was off. On the other hand my weather radio warned me of an approaching tornado that actually touched down three miles from my home. The correct solution would be to create a system like the emergency weather alerting system.

Build FM Radios with an emergency broadcast decoder that would receive a signal, like the Radio Data System, on an FM Station sub-carrier. Public radio FM Stations could transmit the signal. FM radio receivers with emergency decoders would automatically seek out stations transmitting emergency data on the sub-carrier. The owner should be able to configure the radio to respond to emergency alerts from the nearest appropriate jurisdiction. An emergency FM Radio would never turn off completely. The tuner and emergency decoder would always be listening for an emergency alert. Battery back up should be mandatory.

Re: Console-transmitted emergency warnings won't work.

Here is the BIG problem. No matter how you shovel out the warnings there will be people in harms way that will not hear or heed the warning. Lowest common denominators, like community sirens (antiques, I know) get around the fact that most people are not tuned into the same local mass media source. Natural Selection (Darwin) will weed out those who ignore the warnings.

Get Tough Time Warner!

We shall go onto the end! Fight, Fight, Fight!

I love DN for fighting, still, they lose due to the people who believe the crap "XXXX has taken away you channels, call and complain."

Screw that. I don't care if the channels go offline for days or weeks, It means they are fighting to keep my bill down!

Go go Go!

Re: Get Tough Time Warner!

since cable TV operators are not competitors(TWC doesnt fight against Comcast for example) the operators should unify against the content owners, is ESPN worth $5 per sub or even cost that much? likely no but Disney knows that no MSO would ever want to not have ESPN so they get away with it for now and can even make the MSOs put it in something close to their lower end tiers vs say Digital Preferred

How about a different option. Give people the option to choose the programming they want. If it's too expensive, they'll drop it. If crazy sports fans really want xyz channel they can pay for it. If the price is too high they can complain to the provider.
