Review By Computershopper

These days, plenty of products aim to liberate your photos, music, and videos from the cramped confines of the computer screen. The Microsoft Xbox and Apple TV both work over a wired or wireless network to pull content directly from your computer’s hard drive. But for those who want a simpler solution, the Seagate FreeAgent Theater lets you load files onto a Seagate (or any other manufacturer’s) external hard drive or USB flash drive, and plug them into the device for viewing. The problem is, Seagate’s solution forces users to navigate through folder trees, something users familiar with the iPhone or Windows Media Center will find tedious and sometimes confusing. Also, advanced users will scoff at the lack of an HDMI port and 1080p playback. The fact is, fellow hard drive maker Western Digital beat Seagate to the market with its similar WD TV device, which in our opinion, is much better.

The FreeAgent Theater hooks up to your TV to play video, photo and audio files off of a docked FreeAgent Go Hard Drive. So lets say you downloaded some videos (torrents, cough) that you would like to watch on your TV instead of being constrained to your computer, all you have to do is sync the video or photo or audio file on to your FreeAgent Go hard drive and then dock the hard drive in to the FreeAgent Theater which in turn connects to your TV. If you have several FreeAgent Hard drives, you can easily swap them out. Want to set a side one FreeAgent Go hard drive for photos, while another one just for your Dr. Who collection? You can keep it organized in that way too and when you’re ready to play the files, just plop it in to the FreeAgent Theater.

The FreeAgent Theater includes PC syncing software for transferring photos, music, and movies from your computer to a hard drive. Plug in the hard drive, and the software will automatically sync your PC’s media collection to the external drive. Also included is a cradle for attaching any of Seagate’s FreeAgent Go portable hard drives to your PC to make transferring media easier. Plug in a hard drive, click the MediaSync button in the PC sync software toolbar, choose your sync options, and you’re ready to go.

According to IDC’s digital imaging research1, consumers the world over capture and archive over 15 billion gigabytes of digital photos and video every year, most of which is primarily viewed and stored on the home computer. However, according to a recent survey by Parks Associates2, more than a quarter of consumers are interested in accessing personal content — such as photos and music — directly on the TV, while nearly a third of respondents expressed interest in being able to view movies and other PC-hosted video through the TV. Historically the only way to transfer digital files from the computer to the home entertainment center was through complicated home networking solutions or the time-consuming task of burning multiple DVDs or CDs.
