Yes. If its the silver infrared remotes, they do not need to be paired. and can be used directly between different Apple TVs.


If its the black Siri / Apple remotes, then you can use an iPhone or iPad's with the remote widget instead: Set up the Apple TV Remote on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Otherwise, yes, you would need to constantly pair and unpair the remotes with the different Apple TVs.
