Cable companies and ISPs have no control over the look and sound of the alerts. They are governed by a separate document. As for the times of the alerts, cable companies and ISPs also have no control over the time of day that the alerts are raised and promulgated to the public, and no control over the number of times that they are broadcast.
Just to note, the issue of the alerts has been raised several times previously. Only recourse I suspect is to complain to your member of parliament. I don't believe that will result in any action unless there are a significant number of complaints to the various MPs.
Just to note, the alerts themselves are also a technical issue and challenge, as companies have had to come up with solutions that result in older equipment receiving and displaying the alerts. Much of the equipment in use today by average consumers is much older than the creation date of the alert system, so, having to shoehorn the alert system onto older generation equipment can cause less than optimal results.
Fwiw ......
Like the recent poster.. I received them on my IGNITE box as well.
This was a different one than what we got last time on it.
Prior, was able to hit exit and would allow to clear the message.
This time, it did take over the whole box as stated by the other user. Was not able to do anything while it was up. Full screen red background with white text and text to speech voice reading it out.
Our box did recover though afterwards. It was playing a recording when it came up, and had dropped us back to the recordings screen (where you choose what you have recorded)
