Do I have to have an iTunes accounts to use the Apple TV?

[iMore Question]

I was told that I needed an iTunes account to use an Apple TV. Is this true?

Yes you do- you will need one to download anything from the store anyway. Its free- if you don't want to get an iTunes account honestly don't understand why you would want the apple tv anyway- save your money and buy a Roku

Yes, it's true. You will need an iTunes Store account for buying or renting movies and buying TV shows.
