For the Xfinity EAS tests, I record the legacy feed from my legacy cable box to a VHS tape on my VCR (not the Toshiba one mentioned in the description, as that one is in a different room where my X1 DVR is) and the X1 feed to either a DVD+RW disc on the Toshiba combo recorder or my HDMI capture device. I start the recordings a few minutes prior to when the test is scheduled to activate. For the local TV stations, I record those on my X1 DVR and use the HDMI capture device to grab them.
How do people catch eas on xfinity, eas is not apart of the timeline broadcast on xfinity meaning you can’t rewind to see the alert, and the dvr on xfinity does not record the alert if it came on while the dvr was recording
The EAS Details channel wiki entry on Fandom has a really helpful guide with how many cable system channels implement this and how to tune in. You may need a separate DVR.

I can confirm that QAM enabled OTA DVRs can do the same. I use the Magnavox Homeworx.
