  • Excellent integration with the Freeagent hard drive range; great for photos and videos on your TV
  • Lack of video codec support; lack of HD video playback; rather too expensive for what it is

  • Can play every format, optical SPDIF out, stylish design, GoFlex drive slot
  • Sluggish UI, remote is not very ergonomic, player doesn't respond to inputs from the remote at times, expensive, no HDMI cable
  • The Seagate GoFlex TV HD media player has a street price of Rs. 7,000 while its MRP is around Rs. 12,000. Let's have a quick recap of the prices from other manufactures as well. These are all Mumbai prices from Lamington Road. WD TV Live - Rs.6800Sea...
