People who live in the USA on that day: Ahh what a nice day

[@deh_one_jtro]

This was like a month ago but yeah it’s somewhat like that

[@TailsMilesProwler-1]

@@deh_one_jtroI fixed it, I meant to say that not this

[@kittycatsrulecars_playz]

I live in canada and winter 2023 was cold af -50 cel I guess is -58 Fahrenheit. To google I rember that alert

[@disasterzone4830]

Canada uses DASDEC?

[@fazgamer7386]

Average day in Canada

[@kittycatsrulecars_playz]

Tbh it is it is cold for like the whole year I'd say 9 months of the year is cold

[@jimsdog23]

By extreme cold do they mean wind chill or in general? I also know that as an american that video bar before every alert is very creepy since it has no title and actual duration.

[@radioactivepenguin34official]

maybe in general
I need an answer to the video bar at the beginning of each X1 EAS. very odd.

[@jimsdog23]

@@radioactivepenguin34official Probably because it has a hidden channel or wireless channel for the EAS, so the video bar will appear as if the channel changed

[@radioactivepenguin34official]

@@jimsdog23 that makes sense, it does seem to be a hidden channel. it seems like the EAS channel but it looks as if you'd be watching a movie, it also doesn't have normal accessibility buttons at the bottom.

[@jimsdog23]

@@radioactivepenguin34official The first time I saw the bar I was freaking out because I thought something odd was happening before I realized it was an EAS (Severe Thunderstorm Watch, June of last year)

[@WhatWhatTheTVandEASGuy]

​​@@radioactivepenguin34officialIt's usually cuz X1s have a Hidden Program for the EAS called Local Insert Channel, Most Cable and Satellite Providers use an Overlay (DirecTV, Dish, Etc) but Xfinity X1 still uses a Hidden Program. The buttons don't usually appear cuz it automatically switches the channel and if the channel is switched the buttons don't show up unless u press the \/ button, but for the EAS channel they disable the controls Incase of a serious danger.

[@Mark1-l6o]

Bru this is scary

[@StevenMehia]

😢😢😢

[@DannyKuba-d3t]

Is it real?

[@Wyattstuff55]

[@Split-Persona]

Yes, this was real.

[@emo_438]

Fake

[@galaxya52017missitsomuch]

This is fake and in youtube

[@itstimeforMario64PLAYER]

shut up

[@radioactivepenguin34official]

it's not though, you literally saw it at the beginning and then saw it switch to the actual EAS channel

[@TailsMilesProwler-1]

@@radioactivepenguin34officialI agree, it’s not fake because it’s not possible to make an Canada EAs like this

[@radioactivepenguin34official]

@@TailsMilesProwler-1 it is, but this definitely looks like an X1 EAS. If you use X1 and see an EAS you can easily see how it's not fake.

[@xMØĶİZx]

I agree it’s not fake because he has Xfinity and it’s actually real because of the temperature in Ontario is kind of mild cold💁💁🏻
