FreeAgent Theater and GoFlexTV

[Tinwable]

Ok, I have what maybe a dumb question, but what exactly is GoFlex TV?  I was looking at the Accessories for the the FAT+ and it says the the Wi-FI Adapter works on the FAT+ on GoFlex TV, but when you click the link there is nothing there, although it apparently is supposed to be under "hd media players".  So, is it something that has been discontinued or is it something that hasn't come out yet and will be something to replace the FAT+.  I did a search for GoFlex TV and got nothing. 

So does anybody else know what it is, I'm just curious.

Ok, I did find this for anyone interested.  500Gb GoFlex Drive, which apparently is new, not even released yet.  But it still doesn't answer the question as to what a GoFlex TV is.  Now all I can wonder is, is this going to be the replacement of the FAT+ and if so, will my fairly new FAT+ become an unsupported device like the original FAT?

OK, I appreciate you letting me know.  It appears to be an error on the site, which I'm working to fix now.

So, here's another dumb question.  Dumb because I'm sure that I already know the answer to the question.  Why was the Subject to my original question edited by you, since it was a valid question on something that was on your website.

Tinwable,

"Ok, I have what maybe a dumb question, but what exactly is GoFlex TV?"

You might find this interesting:

There is a photo gallery with 3 other views.  None show any connections, though.  I'm guessing an external GoFlex hard drive maybe to be used in conjunction with a GoFlex TV device?

[Tinwable]

fatrebor,

Thanks, but I already had that in my 2nd post above.  And thay are also selling it at Amazon.

But I doubt that there will be an answer as to the GoFlex TV is.  However I have a theory which I explain HERE.

Hi, I have a question about the GoFlex TV and the needed wireless adaptor.  I am wondering if I can use this wirelessly without the adaptor if I have the GoFlex Home 2TB network drive attached to my Router and I can access it the Network drive from all of my PCs within my house wirelessly including the wireless printer which is also on the network. I can not seem to find any information on this configuration. 

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

You still need a wireless adapter for the GoFlex to be on, and see, the network.  I am pretty confused if this is what you meant, many you can explain more?
