Magically take your computer into a TV – BlazeVideo HDTV Player

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Me, as a recent user of BlazeVideo HDTV Player created by BlazeVideo, Inc., was attracted by how practical this software is.

I had already heard about BlazeVideo HDTV Player from my co-workers, but I wasn’t paying much attention at that time. Few weeks ago the television in my house was broken by an accident; therefore I had to stop watching TV until I could afford to purchase a new one. I told my problem to my best friend, and she suggested me to try the BlazeVideo HDTV Player.

At first, I was not only impressed by the tidiness interface of the software, I was also impressed by the programs that provided: supports playing HD TV, analogue TV, and FM radio. It seemed like I would no longer need to purchase a new TV.

Why? Because… my laptop + BlazeVideo HDTV Player = an advanced TV.

Now I understood why my friends suggested me to try this software, because this is actually POWERFUL! Besides watching normal TV shows, BlazeVideo HDTV Player also provides TV record, convert and playback. If I want to go to the washroom without missing the program that is playing, I can just simply press the ‘pause’ bottom. By the way, another feature that impressed me is the ability to skip the boring advertisements while I am watching my favorite shows.

What if there is a time that two of my favorite shows are playing? The PIP (Picture in Picture) function will solve the problem. With this function, I could watch a different show in a mini window.

Anyways, this BlazeVideo HDTV Player is the greatest software I had never met, allowing me to watch, record and convert (the recorded TV) programs.

Now…it is your time to treat your computers as an advanced DTV player.
