Ugh!!!! Me too, non stop alerts for Alberta and now I’m getting alerts from Quebec. They just keep rebooting my system and it’s not doing anything.

    Reboot wasn’t offered I was told “it’s the way it is” although it’s only the way it is for a few of us

    Yup.. I think I got 4 or 5 in the space of an hour yesterday afternoon.. I suggest filing a complaint with the CRTC. I’ve emailed them and have yet to hear back. But this mandated excuse from Telus is a crock.. it only happens on the Android boxes and not the legacy PVRs.
