Behind the Curve Stopgap,
This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player STCEA101-RK (Electronics)
The Seagate FreeAgent Theater is now cheap because it is old technology and it shows. It is not a bad player for old-school video formats, but the picture is composite like an early years DVD Player, not HD. The firmware is slow, ugly, and buggy. The newer Theater+ model has HDMI, networking, and HD picture, but it is not worth the much higher $ investment (currently over $200 with hard drive and dock). The new firmware is still a D+ at best. I recommend using a netbook with an HDMI port as a media server instead. A netbook will work flawlessly as a media server and you will enjoy all the other PC fuctions it can do for you.

PLEASE RATE THIS REVIEW, SO IT WILL BE SEEN.
I have tried to use it for videos from flv and wmv, it wont play youtube videos, or much of anything, (except for .AVI), its format list is obfuscated . I spent hours converting many videos- to no avail. It plays photos and music, but whatever. Second: the menu system, It acts randomly and buggy, it will scroll backwards, shift menu's when you press play, press anything, its RANDOM. I'm sending it back.

This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player STCEA101-RK (Electronics)
I'm surprised it has not been reported here but this unit does not work with some Seagate Freeagent Go drives designed to fit neatly in the special compartment. The drive (as well as other USB drives) works fine as external but does not work as intended.
Seagate has known about the problem all along (their forum is full of complaints about this) but does not have a fix for it and not even trying to address the issue. What is dishonest is that none of the distributors who are selling this unit would tell that upfront. Otherwise, aside from climsy remote and slow remote response, this is a great unit for the price.
