Seems like all the names I like have been taken but some are still available on .tv but registration for this domain is higher than average. what gives? is it suppose to be big?

The way I understand this is, if you have something related to TV, then this is probably worth your while. I just bought last week iReplay.TV and DigitalHDTV.TV
I've just started to list these things and as usual there is a black hole- no response But I'm holding onto these 2 TV domains. iReplay is the next best thing I could come up with to InstantReplay.

I don't like the price tag on the .tv TLD, but I guess that's because it is relatively new. As time passes, maybe the prices will drop too!

If you can find something really good and related to videos, than it is worth purchasing otherwise not.

I bought the following domain ane because I thought I'd be able to flip them for great gains but this process isn't as easy as I thought & now I'm probably going to use a few of them for actual ecommerce web sites. Forgetting that, what is your opinion on these names? Did I waste my money?

iReplay.TV
OrderDirect.TV
SatelliteSports.TV
DigitalHDTV.TV

Anyway you have to develop them if you want to have some money from them.

In my opinion TV is good especially for video blogs, TV stations sites, etc. - it should be related to the TV, videos or movies.

.tv is a ccTld for Tuvalu, it was not spcifically launched for tv or video or anything like that. But dotTV, marketed it in that way.

The sad truth is that if you are targetting mass market we users then you need to concentrate on a .com except for with certain nationally targetted content (.es, .fr and .de are good examples where there is nationalistic tendancies towards domains form the public) - most people don't know or care about tld's and have '.com' burned into their psyche.

.tv is rather expensive. But HqHost.net offers to reg it for $27.50. Good price for that domain.
