Seagate was kind enough to give us a working demo of the company's latest foray into your living room, the FreeAgent Theater. It's not a DVR box, nor is it really a digital media receiver in the sense one would use it as the central point for recording and playing media streamed across a connected household. After connecting to your television via Component, Composite, or S-Video connections, the FreeAgent Theater can play a good chunk of media that you've already preloaded onto--you guessed it!--one of Seagate's FreeAgent Go portable hard drives.
