How to use Apple TV with having an iPhone, iPad or Mac?

My broadband came with a free Apple TV box but I cannot download anything from the app store without an iPhone, iPad or Mac. Can anyone help me? I don't own any other apple products but the Apple TV

You need to generate the iTunes Store account.


You don't absolutely need a Mac or iOS device. As shown it can also be done from an Windows PC running iTunes.


You just need to log in to the iTunes Application with your newly created account so it generates the associated iTunes Store Account.


You can borrow one if you don't have one, and go to the Account Menu->Sign in. Then follow the onscreen prompts.


Yes its a bit annoying to have to do it this way.
