Video site Vmix has signed a deal with DirecTV that will enable them to put selected web videos on TV, reports Red Herring.

Users can submit videos to a section of the Vmix website, where they will be considered for use on DirecTV's show The Fizz. This is an effort by DirecTV to move beyond the established user-submission community. It's also an opportunity for Vmix to position itself as a powerful distribution outlet in the media world.

DirecTV currently pays select creators up to $200 for submissions but it is not clear whether Vmix content creators will be eligible for the same compensation.
