Unfortunately the Apple TVs are on a PSK ESSID so I'm not sure exactly
what would happen there. (We are mid-transition to eduroam.) When
staff are on eduroam, they are able to see the Apple TV, as they are
in the same VLAN as the Apple TVs. I haven't tried putting the Apple
TVs in the same staff area via the 802.1X ESSID yet.

We put the Apple TV in the same VLAN as staff. I have not explored
making this work any more flexibly. It was irritating enough to get
them to even show up with in a location specific fashion. I dread the
day when I have to play with this any further, but it is inevitable -
it will happen either when we migrate the relevant buildings away from
Cisco WLCs, or when someone other than staff needs to use them.

It seemed appropriate... Wish there was some sort of DNS based
discovery - like, real DNS, not mDNS - but alas...
