Have you looked at AirServer? http://www.airserver.com

Yeah, we may well end up using it, but it just seems like an annoyance to pay for something like that.

Also, we have an issue with the TV computers not being on the same subnet as wifi'd laptops, so they don't appear through Bonjour. But that's a whole other issue for enterprise that Apple doesn't really touch.

One benefit AirServer has over any of Apple's AirPlay implementations to date is that it supports 1080p rather than just 720p like the Apple TV when receiving data from an iPad or iPhone. I specifically have an Apple TV + AirServer hooked up to a wall-mounted screen instead of an Apple TV just for this reason.
