Seagate FreeAgent Theatre+ HD
Networked Media Player with a dock for Seagate Freeagent hard drives. Looks very similar to it's non-HD, no-network predecessor. The dock could be seen as a negative as it ties you to a Seagate drive. It uses the now familiar Realtek 1073 chipset which lends it the usual impressive Realtek format support and performance. The limitations come in the user interface and lack of a conventional SATA internal drive bay. Although the user interface has been improved slightly over the 1st generation Realteks, it has bene superseeded by the newer Realtek firmwares for Xtreamer, ACRyan PlayOn, and others.
The Seagate Freeagent Theatre Plus is one of the few Realtek players to be readily available from a big name brand in high street shops. It isn't the best or cheapest of the Realteks, and we suspect support will be less than some of the others, but it does have the usual great Realtek performance and comprehensive format suppport.
