Seems fine to me from here.  If you still have an issue:

  host -t soa igma.tv ns1-hosts.nic.tv
  host -t soa igma.tv ns2-hosts.nic.tv

You'll see output like this:

  igma.tv                 SOA     ns1-hosts.nic.tv hostmaster.nic.tv (
                               996194832       ;serial (version)
                              10800   ;refresh period (3 hours)
                              3600    ;retry interval (1 hour)
                              604800  ;expire time (1 week)
                              86400   ;default ttl (1 day)
                              )

Compare that output with what you see when doing this:

    host -t soa igma.tv your.dns.server
    host -t soa igma.tv your.other.dns.server

You should see the same serial number (996194832) returned regardless of which 
dns server you query.  If that looks ok then just do a simple query for 
www.igma.tv:

    host www.igma.tv ns1-hosts.nic.tv
    host www.igma.tv ns2-hosts.nic.tv
    host www.igma.tv your.dns.server
    host www.igma.tv your.other.dns.server

If those compare favorably then there is no problem with the dns servers, look 
at your machine (perhaps you have a local dns server setup that thinks it is 
authoritative for this domain???).
