since enabling two stage authentication I can't sign into my apple TV. I end up in a horrible circle punching in numbers and it just keeps saying my password is wrong. Only on the TV, can log in to computers with out issue.
can i disable two stage authentication
No.
See the full description at Two-factor authentication for Apple ID
In that support document Apple gives the system requirement for Apple TV as Apple TV HD with tvOS (as the minimum).
You did not say which model Apple TV you have but I suspect it is an early model. The last two models, the Apple TV HD and the 4K can respond to Two Factor Authentication requests but the earlier models require you to enter the 6 digit TFA code in the password field immediately after your password - for example abcde654321
Even then occasionally I had difficulty with Two Factor Authentication on my 2nd generation Apple TV before I replaced it with a new model.

If you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) and two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, then you may be asked to type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field. Additionally, there is a time limit, after which the code becomes invalid.
Try this: First enter the characters of your password (do not submit yet), then manually request a new verification code, then append that code to the password (no spaces or other separating characters), and then submit. That should help you get passed the time limit.
\thanks David, I suspected as much. Very frustrating
