Boxee Beta Back On Apple TV

Those of you with an Apple TV may remember a little thing called Boxee, an add-on to your Apple TV that let you do all kind of cool stuff.  For those of you that do remember, and those that don't, in October, when Apple released the 3.0 Apple TV firmware update, all that fun stopped.  The update blocked Boxee from being used on Apple's hardware.

However, last week, in a post on boxee.tv, the Boxee team confirmed that the new Beta version of their software can now be installed on Apple TVs.  You can find a set of what Boxee is calling, "super simple instructions" on the Boxee website.  Truthfully though, the instructions look like they may be a little time consuming.  For what the add-on offers in functionality though, it will be time well spent for a lot of Apple TV owners.

For those of you willing to take a hack at your Apple TV and install the add-on, you may want to be cautious the next time Apple rolls out an Apple TV firmware update. Everyone else, don't fret, Boxee is in the process of creating its own piece of hardware, called the Boxee Box, which is expected out later this year.
