The Bottom Line	The Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link offers an easy way to watch digital video files without the need to hook up a computer to your TV.	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.	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.
