Comments about Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player Solution 500GB:

Lots of great new features. Things I don't like are when you shut it off, the unit stays warm like its still on internally (maybe it is?), and that i like to catagorize my movies and tv shows (eg. action, drama, dexter, spatacus, etc.)instead of having them all listed alphabetically. (I know you can go to c drive and select from there as if you have on a computer.)

Comments about Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Player Solution 500GB:

This unit is easy to set up and use. But it has some issues with the options on it. I had a unit that kept all my movies organized in the folders I had created, for example all my animated movies were in one location. This unit does not do that. All the movies are just scattered about and it is unable to be set up to keep this organized. Also the text is extremely small and hard to read. I would not buy this again and am in search of something to replace it already. I have only had it one month.
