エスケイネット Monster  P2H 　画質へのこだわりが強いMonster TVシリーズ初の外付けテレビチューナーユニットで，同シリーズ初のハードウェアエンコーダ搭載製品でもある。外付け製品はお手軽さ重視の傾向があるが，やはり画質にこだわる製品になっている。 　通常のMPEG-2録画では最大15Mbpsと他製品と大きく変わらないが，本製品が特徴的なのは，25Mbpsという高ビットレートでIフレームオンリーでの録画が可能なこと。フレーム間圧縮がなくなるため動画として必ずしも高画質になるとはいえないが，DV同様フレーム単位での編集が可能で，きめ細かいCMカットなどには便利だ。またプレビュー，録画，タイムシフトで個別に画質を設定でき，プログレッシブ出力も可能と，画質への強いこだわりがうかがえる。 　付属ソフトはオリジナルできわめてシンプル。味もそっけもないようなデザインだが，録画画質をワンタッチで変更可能なのは他製品に見られない特徴だ。なお録画済み番組の一覧機能などはなく，単にMPEGファイルとして開いて再生するようになっている。 　今回取り上げた製品の中では少々大きめの筐体だが，シルバーとパープルのツートンカラーで側面はクリアパネルと，デザイン的には凝ったもの。今どきのメーカー製PCとの組み合わせには合いそうだ。
