Free Boxee TV getting sent to 'select' early adopters

Boxee TV will come out in November

At $99, the forthcoming Boxee TV seems like a good deal.

It will allow users to receive over-the-air HD channels like NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox for free, DVR shows and use apps like Netflix, Slingplayer and Pandora, all in one box.

Many will enter, few will win

Not everyone who enters their email address for the November-bound Boxee TV will receive a free device.

"Only people who receive an email and complete the form will be sent a free device," cautioned the Boxee representative.

She also put the kibosh on simply forwarding the envious email.

"People who did not receive an email but got access to the form will not be sent a device."

The company isn't commenting on how many devices it'll give away and says that people shouldn't expect a free one just by signing up.

But even the remote possibility of paying nothing to receive live TV channels from major networks and test out a first-of-its-kind No Limits DVR is worth that slim chance.

And for Boxee, it provides some great publicity.
