Devices on different AP's on same SSID

I have Apple TV's and Macbooks on the same SSID. It appears when one of those devices roams to a differnet AP, I can no longer see the TV. However, when both devices are on the same AP, there is no issue. Not sure what to look at to try and resolve that? Any help would be appreciated. Running XG and APX 740's. Thank You

Also note that XG does not rebroadcast mDNS so if devices are on different subnets they will not be able to consistently see each other. And there doesn't appear to be any clever way to make it happen with routing and NAT.
