As long as it is a Netflix account.

Thanks for your answer, but I bought an Apple TV today and during the configuration process it requested my Apple ID...until then everything Ok but when I tried to get to Netflix the only option to open it is login with an Apple ID or buy a new one.
Can you help me log on with another account? (Not Apple Id)
Thanks in advance
You must have a Netflix account to watch Netflix. It's not included.
If you are signing up for Netflix on the Apple TV then that will be connected to your Apple ID. If you don't yet have an account and don't want to use your Apple ID then you will need to sign up via the Netflix website. If you already have an account then just login using those credentials.
The Apple ID is used for iTunes movies, music and tv shows as well as App Store downloads and homesharing local media. all apps are developed and supported by the content owner and will have seperate logins. For the sample, you can download the fox now app and watch clips but it requires an active cable/satellite subscription for full episodes. Netflix is a seperate company and has a seperate subscription account - you get 7 days free before they charge you. https://www.netflix.com/getstarted
In the UK at least you could either use your existing Netflix credentials or sign up for a free trial with rolling subscription charged to your iTunes AppleID.

(Go to setup Netflix tab, then choose AppleTV version)

That was originally the case when Netflix appeared on the older machines - later you were allowed to sign-up for Netflix services (for AppleTV/iOS devices) directly using your Apple ID for payment on a rolling basis with a 30 day free trial (in UK, maybe different elsewhere).
It is still the case, in the UK and the USA, a Netflix account is REQUIRED to watch Netflix, you can buy one from Netflix or Apple, but you must buy a subscription, whoever you pay for it.
Netflix is Netflix, just because it is on an ATV makes no difference.
