dotTV does not provide a public whois - if you wish to find out contact
information for a previously registered domain, you must go to dotTV's
site. They will allow you to login (or create an account) to obtain up to
10 'whois' queries per day.
As an aside - whois is not a reliable method for determining domain
availability. As WXW suggested, using the OpenSRS API is an excellent
method as (for most TLDs we offer) we have a realtime connection with the
registry (VeriSign, CIRA, dotTV).
OpenSRS provides whois information for .tv domains we've registered at
whois.opensrs.net:43 or http://www.opensrs.org/whois/ - mind you, this
will not show you availability, just contact info :)
