Wondering why we are getting emergency alerts a few times every hour for Alberta. We are in BC no where near the affected areas.
it defeats the purpose to have an emergency alert system when it is not accurate, people begin to ignore them.

We just signed up for Telus Optik TV, we live in Vancouver, yet we keep receiving emergency weather alerts for Alberta only. How can we turn this off or change to our area only?

When will this be solved?!! It's so annoying to get 4 and 5 per hour. Each time they come on, you need to restart Netflix and start your movie again. Especially annoying that these warnings are for areas 100s of km away from us

When will this be resolved! We are getting 4 and 5 and hour for locations 100s of kms away from Calgary. New to Telus TV and will go back to Shaw if these issues don't get resolved.

Same issue here, even receiving some in Quebec. What this is going to end up doing is having the whole cry wolf issue come up where when it DOES affect us might not be something we pay attention to.
Fix it please,

Have support staff been told there’s an issue? 2 of the ones I dealt with were pretty rude and insistent that it was “normal” any news on when it will be fixed

Hi. Today again (13July). We live in Calgary and have had 12 warnings for extreme weather in Quebec up until 1400 local time. Why is this so complicated?

Hello. We received 12 warnings today all received before 1400hrs local. We live in Calgary. All warnings were for Quebec. Why is this so challenging to get these routed to the proper jurisdictions?

We have been getting these from Quebec and Alberta since signing up with Telus. Super annoying and it’s going to give my dog a nervous breakdown… just switched from Shaw and wondering if it was a wise choice for this and other reasons. Sure hope this gets addressed soon. My poor mother has major issues trying to get back to her tv shows after these interruptions.

I'm in Vancouver, but whenever there's a severe weather warning in Quebec, I get notified, sometimes multiple times in an hour. I've got location on to approximate itself based on WiFi location, but that doesn't appear to work.
Does anyone know how I can stop these alerts, or change them to be a bit more regional-specific?

It just overlays a red box and angry sound whenever I'm watching TV.
