Will I need a box for each tv? null

If you're streaming, you'll need some sort of "device," some sort of interface for each TV. For our downstairs main TV, we bought the Apple TV 4K 32-gig: $184 with tax. Since we've switched from U-verse to HULU, we needed the latest Apple TV version, in order to handle the latest version of HULU. We'd had a 3rd-generation Apple TV, but it wasn't powerful enough to handle all the features in the latest version of HULU. But for our upstairs bedroom TV, we bought an $80 Roku Premier. We knew we wouldn't need to be "casting" any photos from our cellphones onto the upstairs TV, so we wouldn't need an Apple TV device. (NOTE: the Roku Premier was able to float photos from our iPhones to our TV--but just not quite as seamlessly as the Apple TV. As I recall, it took an extra step or two.) But again, yes, each TV in your home will need some sort of "box" in order to receive streaming content. Unless, perhaps, it's a "smart TV," with a built-in computer that allows it to connect with the WIFI router in your home (which I assume you're renting from AT&T, Comcast, or some other such company). However, sometimes the chip(s) inside a smart TV are not as powerful as those found in a separate device like the Apple TV or Roku Premiere. That was the situation with our 2012 Panasonic plasma TV. Good luck!

yes, unless you buy a HDMI splitter to share the Apple tv with many TV

If your Apple TV is new (under 90 days old), or if older, then if u purchased Apple Care (a typically 2-year insurance program), then I'd suggest you call Apple's tech-support: 800/275-2273. In my experience, they've provided excellent help!
