I *don't* think this is possible as I have been looking and trying for the last couple of hours.

On your iPad, is it possible to log into the App store with your main apple ID but then to watch Apple TV, use a complete
different 2nd Apple ID/email?

Just got a new iPad Pro.
I set up the new iPad with my main Apple ID.
All good there, zero issues.

I then try to log into Apple TV using a complete different 2nd ID/email.
Problem is I'm already logged into ATV with main ID I used to set up my iPad.
If log out of apple TV with my original ID, I also get logged out of the apple store.

What I'm asking is, can you sign into the App Store using one email.
Log in and watch ATV using a completely different email while still signed in to App store with your main email?

Everything I've looked up is giving me instructions to do on my TV.
I'm looking to do this on my iPad.

I know it's confusing but hopefully someone can help??

Apple Support. I would make this my first call with problems with an Apple ID.
 
No, an Apple ID is linked to the store which covers App Store, AppleTV, Apple Music.
You can only use the one AppleID at a time so it’s just a case of switching between the two.

It’s not an iPad, but the iPhone allows you to log into two different Apple IDs.

On my iPhone’s settings, I have a second Apple ID for “Media and Purchases”.

I don’t see why this wouldn’t work for an iPad as well.

Edit: nvm, I think the OP is asking something different than my set up.
