Seagate FreeAgent Theatre+ HD
Realtek 1073DD based player with a dock for 3.5" Seagate hard drives. Very similar externally to it's non-network predecessor but much improved in performance by virtue of the Realtek chipset. Format support is wide and performance is decent, as would be expected from a Realtek 1073 based player. DVD-ISO with full menu is supported. The better 'DD' version of the Realtek chip is used so giving DTS/Dolby Digital downmix.
The original firmware was already a highly modified improvement on the Realtek norm. Since launch there have been further modifications and the latest firmware gives one of the more user friendly experiences from a Realtek based player. Check out Youtube for interface videos. Very significantly Netflix has been added. This makes the Freeagent+ one of the few multi format Media Players to support Netflix.
The Seagate Freeagent Theatre Plus is internally unspectacular. Where it excels is in the interface and the addition of Netflix paid content streaming and being widely available worldwide at a good price. On the back of the firmware improvements we now recommend it highly.

Its a Great product...First I was confused to buy this one..but after having this I really like this one. Only problem I'm facing with the subtitles. If a movie is skipped then it gets lost , then has to be reassigned. July 01, 2010 - 19:41
Not a bad unit seems to play anything I throw at it with the exception of a few mkv encodes. April 10, 2010 - 20:02
