demonstrated two ways to get root on the Boxee Box
http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/Boxee
, a software method that runs a shell script every boot, and a hardware modification that requires the user to cut two traces and solder wires to a UART adapter. The easiest and most feasable way to root the Boxee Box is using the software method which I will describe below.
The original Boxee+Hacks Repository, website, and forums was:
https://github.com/boxeehacks/boxeehack
The new, and still actively developed fork, website, and forums is:
https://github.com/cigamit/boxeehack/
The original method and updates to the Boxee Box was called Boxee+, later it was renamed to Boxee+Hacks (assuming trademark issues). The original developer of the Boxee+Hacks repository probably gave up on the Boxee Box and therefore has not made any updates in about 10 months or more (last update was Feb 2013). Luckily the demand was still there, and a fork of Boxee+Hacks was created and is still being actively developed and enhanced.
