I have an older Apple TV (Model 1427) and just got one of the new Apple TVs for Christmas. I need to know if I can use both simultaneously on two TV sets in my home, obviously using the same wifi . Also, I assume I can continue with my same Netflix Account and access on the new Apple TV. Will it also be available on my older Apple TV in the Den? Thanks.

Yes. Think of the ATVs as the next generation VCR/DVD/bluray. I believe you can have something like 10 devices. I have 3 in my home (ATV gen 2,3&4)
Netflix has a separate login so yes as well Though they may limit the number of devices that are authorized I think it's like 5...
View and remove associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Many thanks... setting it up now... One more clarification. If I am watching a Netflix item on my new ATV, can my grandkids watch log in and watch another Netflix movie on the second device or would I need two accounts for that?
It depends on your account and how many streams you have included on your account. It should tell you on the Netflix "my account" info...
mine allows for 2 streams at any given time...
Duplicate post edit...
Can I use two Apple TVs in same house on same wifi network?
