Template:Appearances Holovision, alternatively spelt Holo-Vision, HoloVision, or abbreviated as HV, is a telecommunication medium in the Ratchet & Clank series, its equivalent of television. Holovision is used to broadcast media around the universe, including entertainment and news, as well as many commercials. Ratchet and Clank have often appeared in holovision shows, or watched them to learn where to travel next.
Holovision shows and channels are watched through telescreens, infobots, and other screens. Aphelion also has a holovision player. Holovision videos are also called holovids, holo-vids, and holo-vites.
