Feevee is an old-school American colloquial blend of 'fee' and 'TV', used in the early days of cable and subscription television to describe pay-TV services — channels or programming you had to pay extra to receive. Back in the era of HBO's rise and the first cable packages, feevee was a snappy way to distinguish premium paid channels from the free broadcast networks everyone got on their antenna. Dated now, but a fun snapshot of TV history.
Dad refused to get feevee because he said we already had plenty of channels for free.
