The Apple TV box should be set up with your Apple Account. To install third party apps on the Apple TV box, the App Store will want you to be signed in with your Apple Account.
To run a third party app, you may be asked to sign in to such app with a username for that service, which may or may not be an email address. This would be asked within that third party app.
