I have an apple TV (3rd gen), and an Android phone. Do I have to buy another device just to get an iTunes account so I can rent movies through the Apple tv, or is there a way to create an iTunes store account online, or through the Apple tv? I managed to create an apple ID online (no small feat), but now it says I need to have it linked to an iTunes account.

You can create an account via http://appleid.apple.com, there is a 'Create Your Apple Id' link/button towards the top right of that page. But as you are posting on here you already have an account.
but now it says I need to have it linked to an iTunes account.
What is the exact text of the message and when are you getting it ?
On the Apple tv, after entering my Apple ID and password. I'll have to get back to you on the exact message.
The exact message is :"Before using this Apple ID on your Apple TV, you must first login into an iOS device, Mac, or PC to create an iTunes Store Account."
Have you got a computer with iTunes installed on it ? If you have go to the Account drop-down menu
Just the Android tablet/phone and the Apple TV. Back when I had a PC, iTunes was the most hated piece of software on it.
Do you have access to any computer with iTunes e.g. a family member or friend ? You will need to do as the message says to do
So I guess the answer to the question is "No"? Apple TV does not support renting movies, etc, without the purchase of a companion device of some kind. Dang.
Can I create an iTunes store account online, or through an Apple tv?
