Recommendations for watching terrestrial digital broadcasts on your PC
This device is a great addition to your PC, featuring a terrestrial digital-compatible LCD TV and an easily expandable HDD recorder. Enjoy high-quality, high-definition broadcasts. Because computer monitors have high resolution, they're a perfect match for high-quality terrestrial digital broadcasts. It offers a sense of realism and impact. Due to differences in resolution, terrestrial digital broadcasts (HD video) offer clear, crisp detail, while analog broadcasts (SD video) tend to appear blurry overall.
This is convenient. Here are some ways to use terrestrial digital broadcasts on your PC:
For those who prefer a simpler setup without a PC and a TV, this can be used as a living room TV. In the kitchen, study, or as your own personal TV. It can also be used with a laptop PC, so you can watch digital broadcasts recorded in the living room in the bedroom.
It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It weighs approximately 80g. Its palm-sized design makes it easy to carry around with your laptop. Since MonsterTV HDUS is powered by your computer, you can enjoy digital broadcasts on the go with a separately sold mobile antenna.
Enjoy watching while doing other things or in full HD.
Resize the display window to your liking by simply dragging the mouse. You can enjoy full-screen viewing, or even a smaller version for more enjoyment. Simply display the program in a smaller size while working on your computer, and then double-click to expand to full screen when you see something interesting.
Subtitle Function
Dialogue and narration are displayed, so you can enjoy the program even without the sound. Subtitles make even difficult-to-hear words clear. This function is only available for programs that support subtitled broadcasting.
Once you use it, you'll understand. Easy-to-use viewing application software, even for beginners.
The intuitive control panel, already popular with beginners, has been further enhanced. Icons clearly show operations for viewing, recording, and viewing the program guide. Recording is easy, just press the record button. Pause the screen when you want to take notes, such as a cooking show recipe or prize information.

Record to an external hard drive, so you don't have to worry about large storage capacities.
Even a one-hour recording can take up a considerable amount of space, even with the high-quality image. Recording to the internal hard drive and then transferring it is a hassle.

You can keep plenty of recorded programs with ease.
