Question about setting up Apple TV for a second home (alien.top)

I recently bought a second home and want my Apple TV setup just like I have in my primary house. Should I unpack it at my house, connect it to the wifi and get it to SYNC everything and then bring it to my second house?

Wouldn't it install all of the same apps when you log in at your other home?

I am not entirely sure but from the answer below it looks like it will because the guy is saying its based on Apple ID and not wifi.

The feature One Home Screen will give you the same apps and arrangement. I don't know if it carries over other settings, but it won't transfer your passwords. Enable it on your first Apple TV before setting up the second one.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I believe it’s based on your Apple ID. So as long as you login with the same one, you should be good.

Who goes around beating dead horses? Sure there has to be a better time filler until Avatar 3 comes out.
