OK, I'll bite.

I have a TV in my living room and our bedroom.

It is two AM, we are asleep and our TVs are off.

How do those "EAS Receivers" alert us?

They don't.  Mostly because I cannot buy an EAS receiver on the  
consumer market.

I can spend a HUGE amount of money and get one, but I cannot buy a  
reasonably priced receiver, say in the price range of a NOAA Weather  
Radio.
