Who'd have thought there'd be a un-ID DTV but, I found one. I'm almost sure it's WBII-CD Holly Springs, MS. but they provide no PSIP data. Thanks a lot. Of course they faded out before I could hope for an ID on the hour / half hour.

Ed, I've got one of those non-ID LDTVs 187 miles from me in DeSoto TX on channel 3. Unfortunately, they don't run on-air IDs either. The progamming, mostly GEMS TV, matches Doug's data.

Hi Danny,
I believe it's an FCC violation for a DTV not to transmit the PSIP data. I've read they're cracking down on violators.
The DTV 20 I saw this morning (between 7 and 7:30 A.M. CDT) was running some kind of hair curler / curling iron ad on it's channels 1 and 3, a rock and roll CD ad on it's channel 2 and some sort of home remodeling on it's channel 4. Didn't see any network logos of any kind.

Well, I tried to call (662-224-3220) WBII-CD (Mid-South Broadcasting, inc) and that didn't work, either. I got an automated phone system..."Press 1 for news, press 2 for programming, press 3 for general manager, press 4 for all other...." The end result, of several attempts, was always the same....their X*#$ing phone system disconnected each time. What kind of duct tape and baling wire outfit is this?!

They have a website...

...and I sent them an e-mail but, no reply.
*sigh*
I wonder if a complaint, filed with the FCC, would get their attention...
