Hi everybody, I have read alot about Apple TV, but I haven't found an answer to this question. So here it goes: I'm Canadian and I have a Canadian account for purchases on the Canadian iTunes store. I'm also in the unique position of having access to the US iTunes store through the account of a friend living in the US. Through him, I have bought one music album so far. Of course, to play it on my iTunes, I had to use his account to authorize my computer to play that US album. And it works just fine, and it also transfered to my iPod with no problems.

If I start buying movies and TV shows from the US Store, will I have any problems transfering those to my AppleTV ? What do you guys think? I want to make sure it works before I pluck down $400.00 for this thing.

Thanks for your help....

The iTS terms of service don't seem to have been updated to specifically mention the Apple TV, but I'm relatively sure that it follows the same rules as the iPod. Namely, you can have files from up to 5 different iTS accounts on one iPod at a time. So you shouldn't have any problem.
