As long as you can order Playboy TV why call it anything other than that.

It's how they say it in the commercials.

 

[Rubycon]

Direct V? :laugh:

It's DIRECT TV.

Just like people say tenna-shoe for tennis shoe and ice tea for iced tea. It's all there.

 

[imported_Lothar]

It's pronounced "Direcrv".

You missed that option in your poll.

 

[dethman]

I believe the correct pronunciation is "poop".

 

[halik]

should've got cable?

 

[Eeezee]

Why would anyone go out of their way to pronounce the extra T? It's "direc-tv"

Is this really a mystery? How do you pronounce "house"?

[Captante]

Direct-TV

 

[Snapster]

Direc-TV, although I've not seen the logo/ads etc so they could be trying to be clever and be merging the T yet still pronounce both.

 

[T9D]

Direct TV

I see most people got it wrong. Direc is not a word people. It's just a clever spelling of two words that are suppose to be pronounced very distinctly and separate.

wut, this isn't one of those ambiguos terms...
they pronounce it direct tv in their ads

People who chose the first answer in the poll did NOT get it wrong. It's pronounced the way the company pronounces it. The commercials that they pay for and produce call it "Direc-Tee-Vee" and if you call them on the phone, they'll say "Direc-Tee-Vee", so that's the name of their company. I just changed the channel to a "how to use DirecTV" channel and sure enough, that's how the guy on there said it. You aren't being forced to *like* their pronunciation, but they chose to pronounce it that way, so it is the company's name.

It's the same as with people's names. I have a relative who pronounces his own name of Kevin like "KEY-vinn". Everyone else in the world may pronounce it "Keh-vinn", but he is still right because it's his own damned name.

umm...are you new to company names and products? there are many that don't use the words as they are normally spelled.
