Boxee on AppleTVImage by SkyFirePDL via FlickrIf you have an Apple TV, you MUST try out boxee. Here are the steps that you’ll need to take to get boxee installed and running on your Apple TV.

Step 1
Download the ATVUSB-Creator.

Step 2
Insert a “bootable” USB drive into your Mac.


Step 3
Run the ATVUSB-Creator and select your Apple TV version number (e.g., 2.1) and Boxee for Mac.

Step 4
Remove the USB drive and plug it into your Apple TV.

Step 5
Power on your AppleTV. The patchstick will run the ATV bootloader.

Step 6
After the bootloader finishes, remove the thumb drive from your AppleTV.

Step 7
Restart your AppleTV

Step 8
Click Boxee on the main menu. Then select update (this will download Boxee from the Internet).

Step 10
Once Boxee is done installing, restart your AppleTV.

Step 11
Click Boxee, and then select Boxee in the sub-menu to start the interface.

Boxee is by invite only, so you’ll need to find a friend with an existing boxee alpha account first.
