So I finally got my new ATV hooked up and working. Which by the was was awesome with no fuss on an Windows machine! Anyway, I went to rent my first movie, and it asks me for my Apple ID and password, but all I have is my AOL user ID, since that is how I established my iTunes account years ago. I can log in using that just fine on my computer, and it shows all my credit. But the ATV will not accept the same ID and password to log on to my account. My workaround was to just rent it on the computer and then transfer it over to the ATV, but that's a bit of a pain. Any tricks to getting an AOL-based account to work?

Thx
