I am trying to understand what Apple devices respond with their model to Bonjour queries. For example, MacBooks respond with their model:

Code:
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
Air._device-info._tcp.local. 10 IN  TXT "model=MacBookAir4,2"

However, iPhones, iPads, and iPods do not respond with their model.

I am wondering if Apple TVs respond or not. It would be great if someone could open up Terminal.app on their MacBook and issue the following command, making sure to substitute the IP address of the AppleTV:
Code:
dig @224.0.0.251 -p5353 -x IP.ADDRESS.GOES.HERE

If you could paste the output of the command, and the generation of your AppleTV (if you know it), I would appreciate it!
