Please search before posting, Boxee does not support TV Tuners (nor does it have any built-in PVR functions) yet.

Yes, Boxee doesn't support TV tuners.... but it supports mythbackend, which supports TV tuners. I think you'll still have to use mythfrontend to set recordings... but once they're recorded, you can watch them from within Boxee by adding a "localhost://mythtv" source. And of course, you won't get the auto-commercial skip feature from mythtv either, but oh well.

there are many plans, and a few working plugins.
also, search the forums for: eyetv, beyondtv, or mythtv depending on your platform.
