FreeAgent Theater+

Seagate last week announced that its Seagate TV Remote application is now available for download from the iTunes Store. The new Seagate TV Remote app allows you to control your GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ from anywhere in the home using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch via Wi-Fi. Also, because the app leverages the home Wi-Fi network, there is no need for line-of-sight between the HD media player and the controller, allowing it to be used anywhere within the home.

Current owners of Seagate's media players will be able to use the keyboard on their Apple mobile device to search YouTube, Netflix and Pandora, simply by pressing an onscreen button. With the TV Remote app, people can now see a display of all the files stored on the external hard drives connected to GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ HD media players. It also allows the navigation of photos stored on the Apple mobile device in order to send them over the network to the drive attached to either media player. The photos will be saved to the drive and automatically displayed on the TV in full resolution. The TV Remote app will work with every Seagate media player on the network and will automatically scan a Wi-Fi network for any available GoFlex TV or FreeAgent Theater+ HD media players. Read more
