Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player for media geeks

Seagate today announced a new media player for home users. The FreeAgent Theater+ HD media player is the latest product from the house of Seagate designed to instantly and easily connect your digital media library to your home entertainment system. The FreeAgent Theater+ HD media player leverages a docking system unique to Seagate FreeAgent Go portable drives and accessories, providing a quick and easy way to connect your external hard drive to your television or home entertainment center.


After loading the drive with your favorite movies, videos, music and pictures from the home PC, simply slide it into the FreeAgent Theater+ dock to get instant access to your digital media library.

The interface is easily navigated with the included remote control, and you can choose from video, photos or music with the up/down arrows on the remote to make your selection.

The Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD media player includes two additional USB ports for connecting other USB attached storage devices.

Also incorporated into FreeAgent Theater+ is an Ethernet port for network connectivity, which allows access to digital media through your home network. Seagate intends to launch a USB Wireless Adapter in October to enable this same access with 802.11n wireless connectivity to a home network.

The Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD media player is available as a stand-alone unit for use with any USB storage device for $149.99, or bundled with a 500GB FreeAgent Go drive for $289.99.
