QUOTE(cpchew @ Jan 17 2014, 12:13 AM) Hi, my ATV will arrive tomorrow. Thanks to Red Friday Sales. Can someone teach me how to set up Netflix or Hulu+, since there is so much talk about them here. I also read that Netflix US has the best TV programs. In order to watch the US Netflix should I pay particular attention in the initiating setting up of my ATV for the first time? I read something like setting your iTunes account using the US address,,, bla bla bla... What does iTunes have to do with Netflix or other apps in ATV? Thanks. just scroll up a little bit or a couple of posts back..i shared a video on how to do it..

Thanks markiliz. So I can connect my ATV tonight and try to play around with it first. Experimenting airplay, YouTube as such...
Then I will have to sign up and pay for Netflix or hulu+ ....or whatever. After that I can change the program settings to watch the US versions. Am I right?

I will set up my ATV WHEN THE INTERNET IS UP. SO, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT I CHANGE MY INITIAL ATV SET UP TO US, RIGHT? I never have an iTunes account as well. So is it also recommended that I sign up iTunes by using US as my base country. All the above are done so that we can watch Netflix or hulu+... ? Any other benefits?

i think you can just sign in back with your apple id... or else, need to register a new apple id using US store...
i'm still using older apple tv OS, so probably that's why i'm not logged out by default when changing the country

Is iTunes account the same as your Apple ID?
And Apple ID does not have your country of origin associated with it, right?

It will auto select the quality based on the speed. QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Jan 18 2014, 09:33 PM) ATV3 can JB already ? Yours is ATV2 ? My ATV3 pretty good for 1080p videos in YouTube. Atv3 cannot jb yet.
