The Bottom Line While it isn't infallible, the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player plays back a wide array of audio, video, and image files on your TV without the need for a computer. Priced competitively with similar products, the M200 is a great networked media streamer for the do-it-yourself content guru. While the Seagate FreeAgent Theater has a decent interface and good photo display options, it doesn't read as many video file formats as its competitors.
