The trouble with certain electronic hi-tech goods is that the manufacturers often use the items abbreviated name before we even know what it is an abbreviation of.
Television was easy - it was television for many years before it became known by the more common shortened name, TV.
Nowadays though, they just drop the latest gadget on shop shelves, sell it by its abbreviated letters, and the majority of people don't know what they stand for.
It's amusing listening to nerds conversing accordingly - "I need an HPD cable for my PPD because the AFM terminal only has a XO socket which means I can't use my TCU".
