This is a small ‘hands on’ tutorial on how to fake a Itunes US account.
I live in the Netherlands and so i cant hire or buy movies straight on the apple tv. Therefor i need a US itunes account..

There are a few solutions on how to fake an US Itunes account.
In most cases u need a us creditcard and a us adress, even the paypal method needs to be a US paypal account.

Now the easiest way we think is the following:
- buy a US Itunes gift-card on ebay and let the code send by email (we received us within a couple of hours)
- download itunes
- install and open the itunes shop. (when already logged in, you must log out)
- scroll at the bottom and change the store to US store.
- Click in the top right menu at “redeem”
- paste your gift card code and continue
- fill in a real address ( use someone you know or try http://www.whitepages.com)
- Notice that the option to select payment “none” is available. (some case when use a hotmail address, this is not a option, therefor try another email address)
- continue filling the form.
- when finished creating a account, it can be necessary to redeem the code again.
- check your settings on the apple tv
- now you can enjoy rent and buy movies on the apple tv.

Have fun!

Update:  Due to the Hdcp control by the hdmi cable it’s not recommend to use this hdmi cable for your connection, we suggest using a component cable. For me personal it was not possible to watch rental movies due to the Hdcp. For a strange reason, buying and watch series episodes was possible! So to make it all work, just use the component connection!
