My condo has Rogers Cable, not Rogers Ignite so will need the old cable boxes. I will have 2 TVs. Is there a way around to not having a cable box with my main TV? It’s an eyesore and don’t have a spot for it.

The short answer is no, you need a box for each TV. They can be purchased for very little or no money these days from friends, relatives, kijiji, etc. You can even get an HDPVR for under $50. Note the following tips for purchase.
In spite of the above, it would be theoretically possible to have a single box running to something like a good HDMI splitter or switch to feed two TVs, but that means you have the same signal to each TV and may be just as unsightly as a second box. Also, how are you going to control that box if you're watching a TV in another room?
It is possible to "hide" the box for the main TV by putting it somewhere out of sight and controlling it using something like an IR blaster/extender to get the remote IR signals to the box.
