This was pretty simple, but clients really seem to appreciate having the functionality so I thought I'd share.

Basically all you have to do is follow these steps to create a checkbox that can send any asset to your Apple TV for client viewing.

1. Create the field "Send to Apple TV".
2. Add that field to your Asset Search MD group and the MD group that you wish people to access it in.
3. Create a Final Cut Server Playlist in iTunes
4. Open Automator in OSX. Create a Folder Action using the "Add Songs to Playlist" action from iTunes. Choose your Final Cut Server Playlist
5. Assign the folder action to a folder of your choice.
6. Create a Device "Apple TV" in Final Cut Server that points to that folder.
7. Create a transcode setting for "Apple TV H.264" and import to Final Cut Server. Assign this transcode setting to your Apple TV Device
8. Create a "Send to Apple TV" Copy Response. The destination device is "Apple TV". Transcode Setting is "Apple TV H.264"
9. Open Itunes on the Final Cut Server. Setup your Apple TV. Have the Apple TV automatically get the latest files from your Final Cut Server Playlist and send them to your Apple TV.

Done!
