are there any plans to ever include 'LIVE TV' on the Boxee Box? about the only live tv I care about are news channels like Fox News, CNN news, etc.

if those were included on the Boxee Box I would cancel my cable tomorrow :-)

Try the third-party "repo" from StreamFree.TV to install the LiveTV app on Boxee (thanks go to forum member Bioscript for the following links):

Thanks for sharing. After canceling cable, I was wondering how I was going to watch the Braves play when local games are blacked out on mlb.tv.

media,

Let me know how you like the App

Once you launch the App click left on your Boxee Box controller and it brings up the left menu. Under the Delicious Users Tab you will find my tab "Xavier's Picks". Click on that and you will find 48 Live streaming channels like Fox News, CNN and many others. Keep in mind that these streams can go offline, so I do my best to keep them updated. The LiveTV App has plenty of live sports streams for you to watch. Also LiveTV is now integrated into the Navi-X App

Hope you enjoy all the hard work our team has done on this App!

You should also check out this post http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=23959 which has useful information on other sites you can use on your Boxee Box

Thanks,

Thanks Xavier! This just crossed my only gripe off the list about switching to the internet for tv. Many, many thanks! Looks like I've got some reading to do.

EDIT: And thanks to the whole team for their time spent on the app.

Hey no problem

I am also getting ready to try out PlayOn. Some of the Mods on here have had great things to say about it. I am just waiting for my wife's new netbook to come so I can run it on hers since my laptop is to old. There website is http://www.playon.tv/ They have some good 3rd party plug-ins for it from what I have heard. I will let you know how well I like it as soon as I get to try it out

PS I am getting rid of DIRECTV as soon as we get our tax money back. We will be using our Boxee Box, Roku player, Netflix, Vudu and PlayOn instead. This will save us over $100 a month

Yep, I was going to say Navi-X is the best way to see different channels of LiveTV.
