Its creators may not quite know what to do with the Apple TV, but over at Boxee there's no such confusion.  The media center software has long been a popular hack for the Apple set-top box, but after the company launched their new beta recently the Apple TV was pretty much left out in the cold; now, though, there's a new way to install it that's even more straightforward than before.
