Boxee Box Live TV Tuner Available for Pre-Order

Dec 11, 2011 by Josh Pollard

Boxee announced recently that they will be bringing the ability to watch live television to their Boxee Box. To watch live ATSC or ClearQAM content you’ll need a TV tuner though! They’ve now made their tuner available for pre-order. It is a small USB stick, about the size of your typical flash drive, that simply plugs into the back of the back of the Boxee Box and then offers a jack on the other end for connecting the included antennae. You can get your own for about $50. They’ll be available in January, 2012.

The Boxee Box itself can be had for about $175, and it provides access to a plethora of streaming video services including Netflix and Vudu.
