Show Notes

The first thing to do when hooking up the Boxee box is to take it out of the box. Place it near to your TV and hook up the power cable to the Boxee and connect the Boxee to your television. You can also connect the Boxee to your home network with a network cable if it is available.

Press the power button and the Boxee box will go through its boot sequence. Go through the alignment process to optimize your viewing experience. Boxee will also ask you for your account information so you'll be best prepared if you're already connected to the Internet.

If you already have an account and set up your account through the Boxee box, then you'll get all sorts of content associated with your account. Otherwise, you'll have to populate this list yourself. Boxee will also ask you where you want to get your content from so you should choose where you want to get that from.
