Digital Media Player Guide report - Seagate FreeAgent Theater and FreeAgent Theater +

Seagate has two models of digital media players in their garage at the moment. The most up-to-date expanding was added to their lineup when Seagate announced the FreeAgent Theater + on September 15, 2009. Seagate improved upon their traditional digital media player, the FreeAgent Theater, but both players offer great features. It legitimately just depends on what your home ideas can support.
