HDTV Glossary – the who, what, where in High Definition terms
Okay my bad, I published this article before it was supposed to. But it doesn’t really matter as this glossary should be the start of a bigger “tech-nerd-1337-speak” gloassary. A lot of people ask to explain stuff in plain english if I go into “geek speak mode”. Because I don’t like to do stuff more [...]
