No. Your local church should receive your offerings first, since that is where you attend. Only after you have given there, do you give to outside ministries.
Further, I would be very skeptical about TV ministries in general. Check them out first. I would recommend that they have an ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) certification first.

Tithe is not the same thing as a donation. Donation would equate more to offerings.
"No" is the answer to your question. But there is certainly nothing wrong with donating to Christian TV.

I would definately check it out. But i feel that the local bible based church is a more effective way to tithe to the lord. But you have to pray about it and give where you are led to!

If you are not a member of the church on television that does not count as part of your tithe.

I hear that the miracle spring water is a great investment. Apparently you can pray to Jesus to send you money with that blessed water. And hey if it's a load of crap you'll have yourself a bottle of water. It's a win win situation.

I quess, but make sure the place you are donating to is legit, and the money is going to real people in need.

i would rather give it to a local church or food pantry or salvation army or any where that it's most likely to be put to good use and not to buy fake eye lashes and advertising

No, they make enough freakin' money.
Who knows what they spend it on, sex, drugs, private jets, $2000 a night hotel rooms.
