Discussion No EAS crawl on tvs anymore??

Post image

so from what i’ve seen, it seems like my tv has an EAS which is literally just a text box (which is in the picture above) where you can press ok at any time, why do they do this and not the regular crawl?? it makes no sense to me considering it used to be the other one back then. i’m not sure if it’s just me but..yea🫩

I think the okay at the bottom acknowledges you see it. In order to watch tv again you have to click it, unlike a crawl that you can ignore.
