The editors didn't like
I hope USB 3.0 is included and not an extra in Future Products
Visuals are lacking
And so are pivotal Green Day venues like Woodstock. No backstory on the band other than playing their songs. Casual Green Day fans may not bother playing it again after they beat it in just a few hours
Doesn't include Wi-Fi adapter (a $50 extra) or have on-board Wi-Fi
HDMI cable not included
Quick Start Guide steps include installing software that wasn't included nor needed
Can't sign in to your Flickr account
No HDMI cable included
Home screen options are a bit redundant
Network playback can be slow
Some features available only via the remote
Bottom Line
Seagate delivers a full-featured media streamer at an affordable price
But it's not quite as polished as the WD TV Live Plus.
Network playback is buggy
No builtin storage
Limited Netflix features

Both photos and video have excellent picture quality
It can play music over a slideshow

You must use a PC to manage your Netflix queue
No Pandora support
Weak Flickr support.
No built-in Wi-Fi (wireless option costs an extra $50)
Blu-ray players with similar features are available for not much more money
The drive sticks out when installed

No built-in Wi-Fi (wireless option costs an extra $50), Blu-ray players with similar features are available for not much more money, the drive sticks out when installed, Seagate's 1TB GoFlex drive doesn't fit inside the device, no Pandora streaming
The inclusion of Netflix and other online-streaming options make the FreeAgent GoFlex TV a compelling option for file hoarders who also want access to cloud-based media.
Abstract: Seagate last month announced their new GoFlex TV the latest version HD Media Player that works with their new GoFlex Portable hard drives and essentially replace their Theater offering. The new GoFlex TV will not only work with GoFlex portable Hard dr...
Abstract: Seagate has phased out its FreeAgent Theater line and is replacing it with the new GoFlex TV 1080p HD media player. The GoFlex TV maintains a consistent branding with Seagate’s new GoFlex series of external storage products, which, as you probably gues...

So what are my thoughts on the GoFlex Line from Seagate? Well simply put I am impressed, Seagate has taken the time to make something else I never knew I needed until now. There isn't much you can really improve on when it comes to media in my opinion ...
Abstract: You might recall when we reviewed Seagate’s GoFlex ultra-portable drive, as well as the GoFlex Net media sharing device. We’re here once again to continue the GoFlex saga to bring you the GoFlex TV HD media player. This little guy plugs right into your...

It just can't be avoided – but with its $129.99 price point, the FreeAgent GoFlex TV is going to be compared to the Roku player HD-XR. However, the GoFlex TV trumps the HD-XR with 1080p vs just 720p, and the GoFlex TV of course has the ability to pla...
Abstract: Back when we reviewed the Seagate GoFlex HDD we concluded that, while the concept of an external drive with interchangeable cables was reasonable, we thought it would make more sense when used with the company’s multimedia docking stations. Happily tha...
Abstract: I am a huge fan of digital media, especially videos. I just love everything about being able to cram hundreds of movies or photos onto a tiny memory card or drive. What used to require a shelf full of DVDs can now be stored in just about any portabl...
Small size, comprehensive file support, two USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet port, YouTube and Flickr access, easy to use
Remote control could be better, file listing for videos could be better, file index has to be rebuilt every time you switch on the unit
If you're looking for a small network media streamer that can also play content off USB hard drives, Seagate's FreeAgent GoFlex TV HD Media Player is a great choice. It has a clean interface that's easy to use and it supports a huge range of file formats...
