Two TV's?

Can I hook up DirecTV to my Home TV and the shop in my backyard?  Do I need two boxes?

If satellite, you need two boxes. You pay for each authorized TV on the service.

If the streaming service instead, then two boxes unless one TV supports the DirecTV app. Though the 'smart' TV app is not suggested and instead it is preferred to use a dedicated box (Roku, Firestick, the DIRECTV STREAM box, etc.).
