Simultaneously Running Zwift and TrainerRoad

Adding on to the questions around Zwift on AppleTV, has anyone tried to simultaneously run both Zwift and Trainer Road? i.e, do the workout in TR, but have Zwift running also. My set-up at home will be through both an iPad and iPhone, I don't have a computer to run either one of the apps (Mac stays upstairs) and my AppleTV is Gen 1.

I believe I could run TR from my iPhone with Ant+ Dongle and Wahoo Key (TR would run KICKR in ERG) and then run Zwift via Bluetooth on my iPad and have it pick up my KIKCR, but not control it.

Am I on the right path with this?

    @Jeff Phillips Not sure this will help but here's what I have done/do.

    My equipment: Android Phone, Garmin PM, Kickr Core, Laptop

    I run zwift on my laptop. Power source is my Garmin PM and no power control paired.

    I run TR on my Android phone. Power source is my Garmin PM and Kickr Core also paired and set to ERG. I have TR set to auto power match (which means TR will use my PM to control the Kickr resistance).

    I hope that helps.

    @Jeff Phillips - I do the same space shuttle boot up as @Derek Sanks except
    all on the computer. The catch is you need at least 2 ant+ sticks. Boot
    up/pair up TR first and initiate erg, then sign on to zwift and have your
    power source be your PM, but unpair power control. Watch TR in minimized
    mode at bottom of screen, and Zwift on top. Good to go.
