You only use 'an' when the word after it begins with a vowel or a vowel sound (like honour). The thread title should read, "I just got a HDTV". Sorry to single you out, but I have seen the same mistake so many times on this forum and it annoys the hell out of me.

OT: Sorry I don't know anything about TV's :P

Are you sure about that? I was always taught to use "an" phonetically. That's why people say "a university" because it's pronounced "You-niversity". The same applies to acronyms like "an HDTV" because it's pronounced "ayche-DTV".

I Googled it and there is no clear answer I could find. I'm just curious.

 It is definitely "an" HDTV. 

 According to my English Comp 1 book, it can be either or. An university, a university are the same thing.
