ok lets clear this up once and for all because although most people when saying HDTV would pronounce it eightch the correct way of pronouncing H is Hatche therfore the first letter is H just imagin a well spoken english man saying the letter H it starts with a H and seeing as we are talking properly spoken grammer it would therefore be A Hatche Dee Tee Vee
ugh dude, i hate to break it to ya, but you dont pronounce "H" as "heightch"
its eightch, or "aitch"
