I know it doesn't answer the question, but for the new No-Bonjour AppleTV paradigm, we are ensuring that the AppleTV is connected to Ethernet to take all of this sort of flakiness out of the equation (along with RF blasting that comes with direct WLAN connection between client and TV).

A while back we picked up a bunch of Apple TVs. The behavior I am seeing, according to my Ruckus controller is: * Good wireless connection on all 5ghz when set to 20mhz. * Bad connection on 5ghz when using 40 mhz. In either case there is some pausing, freezing etc. sometimes worse than others. Then I read this: "You'll notice that antenna 2 on the Apple TV 3 only gets used (at least for transmit) on the 5.2 GHz band - channels 36 to 48." From here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5687/apple-tv-3-2012-mini-review/3 . I have yet to test the performance, but when I switch the APs to a channel between 36 and 48 at 40mhz, the signal to the AP doubles in quality.
