Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 20 Apr 2010 2:12 User comments (1)

Seagate has announced today that their FreeAgent Theater+ HD Media Players will soon be updated to include streaming video such as Netflix and YouTube.

The media players allow for easy playback of video files on user's TVs, and the company says besides the big two, streaming access is also available for vTuner and Mediafly.

The new features will come via a firmware update in the near future, and the firmware will be pre-installed on all future media player shipments.

The FreeAgent players allow for video playback from memory drives, hard drives, the web, or streamed from a computer network.
