    I think on layman's term, HQ meant meant head quarters.. But on a technical jargon, its high quality. For the other meaning,most likely google will have the answer.

    Wow... Impressive discussion on two letters.
    Obviously it can mean anything as mentioned in answers above but over Internet it means "High Quality" which refers to High Quality Videos. HQ is used as synonym of HD which means "High Definition" in terms of Video.

    Thanks,
    Ed

    It has a lot of means, as kenstrong mentioned, but high quality could be a good use of it.
