Seagate's latest product, the Seagate FreeAgent Theater HD media player, connects to your TV and plays back video, pictures, and music from an external hard drive.
It works like this: you transfer files from your computer to your FreeAgent Go hard drive -- or another storage device -- then dock the device in the FreeAgent Theater via a USB connection.
The little black box has the processing power and the codecs onboard to read a wide variety of file formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and DIVX files with support for NTSC, PAL, and HD resolutions up to 1080i (there's also support for subtitles).
The audio formats supported include 5.1-channel surround sound (if available) and popular digital-audio formats including MP3, WMA, WAV, and OGG. Naturally, there an easy-to-use onscreen interface that makes navigating your files easier.
The Seagate FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player will be available in March in the US and cost $130 as a stand-alone unit, $230 with a 250GB hard drive or $300 with a 500GB. All configurations include a remote.
