How can I run 2 TVs on ATV...2 boxes and 2 Siri remotes?

[iMore Question]

I want to ditch cable, have 2 TVs, each with a cable box and remote. Can I watch each TV set independently with 2 Apple TV boxes? Can I pair one Siri remote to each ATV4 box? Will using a remote in one room control both ATV4 boxes?
TIA, Bill

Welcome to iMore Bill!!

Yes you can watch 2 ATV4's independently, but I'm not so sure on the pairing of 1 Siri remote to 2 boxes. The convenience tho is if you have an iPhone or iPad you can install the Remote app for iOS and control both boxes that way since it gives the option of selecting the ATV's... just make sure to name them differently. Hope this helps.
