Peretz (Russian: Перец, lit.'pepper'; formerly known as Darial TV, DTV, and ДТВ) was a Russian national television channel, broadcasting original entertainment programs, as well as Russian and Western television shows.

The channel began broadcasting on June 7, 1999, under the name "Дарьял ТВ". In 2002, it was rebranded as DTV-Viasat, and in 2007, as ДТВ. In 2011, the channel finally took its ultimate name, Перец. By 2011, the channel had a technical penetration of 72.5% and broadcast in over 400 cities across Russia.

In 2015, ceased broadcasting due to the launch of a new channel, Че (телеканал) [ru]. There were plans to relaunch the channel on satellite and cable networks, but broadcasting never resumed.
