.TV is indeed a country code domain -- for the island nation of Tuvalu, which has chosen to make a bit of money by letting somebody market it as if it really stood for "television".
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kevinmaney/ 2004-04-27-tuvalu_x.htm
Tuvalu has a much bigger problem: The entire Tuvalu land mass — nine slender South Pacific islands and atolls — is apparently doomed to sink beneath the ocean. Earlier this year, Tuvalu came the closest yet to vanishing.
According to Web monitor Hitwise, the most popular .tv site is Fox's kids site, foxbox.tv. It gets a market share one-hundredth that of the top television-based Web site, espn.com. In the meantime, DotTV was sold to Internet company VeriSign, and recent news reports say Tuvalu's Internet revenue is used primarily to pave roads.
