YouTube for iOS adds send-to-TV pairing, lets you skip the media hub

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="YouTube for iOS adds sendtoTV, lets you skip the media hub" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/youtube-ios-send-to-tv.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Those running the dedicated YouTube app for iOS have had TV streaming for awhile... as long as there was an Apple TV in between. Google's video division is cutting out that middleman with its newly available app update. Similar to what we've seen in the Android software, iOS device owners can at last pair directly with some TVs, the PS3 or Xbox 360 to play and queue videos, even if there's multiple iPads and iPhones jockeying for attention on the same WiFi network. If your set is left out, YouTube still offers reasons to upgrade -- there's a connection to YouTube Capture for recording, and better playback on a pokey WiFi connection. As long as you're at least curious about TV streaming beyond Apple's set-top box, it's arguably worth trying.</div></div>

NOVA's Earth From Space documentary shows a super-connected planet (video)

If that wasn't enough perspective for you, PBS is offering a follow-up through <i>NOVA</i>'s newly streaming "Earth From Space" documentary. The two-hour show illustrates how our planet's individual climates and ecosystems are really part of one larger unit, with ripple effects that we didn't always anticipate until an abundance of earth observation satellites made them clear. You'll have to be an American to watch before the documentary, at least before it arrives in disc form on April 2nd. Every Earth citizen can still watch the trailer after the break.</div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x_QoKYvjhl4?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Netflix and DreamWorks to launch original show for kids in December

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Netflix and DreamWorks launch original show for kids" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/netflix-turbo-fast.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> While Netflix is trying to lure in the grown-ups with the launch of <em>House of Cards</em>, it's not leaving kids without their own choice of original material. DreamWorks plans to follow up the July release of its animated movie <em>Turbo</em> with a Netflix-only series, <em>Turbo FAST</em>, in December. The episodes will arrive on the service roughly in line with DreamWorks' 2013 slate of movies, including <em>Turbo</em>. Young viewers may well be happy, but <em>Turbo FAST</em> and the larger DreamWorks deal could be that much more satisfying for Netflix itself -- they're potential foils to Amazon's multi-show plans that could keep some subscribing families from jumping ship.</div></div>

Blockbuster On Demand gives streaming a second chance

Nonetheless, it's betting that the umpteenth time's the charm with a relaunch of its Blockbuster On Demand streaming movie service. The revamp ticks many of the checkboxes for a modern by-the-title rental store with 1080p and 5.1-channel surround sound as well as apps for 2012 Samsung Smart TVs, Android and Roku 2 boxes. However, there's a number of curious choices, and we don't just mean the omission of a subscription model. It's missing an iOS app, emphasizes apps for desktop viewing and leaves no way to watch HD video on anything but a TV -- our mobile and PC screens have advanced in the past several years, Blockbuster. Idiosyncrasies notwithstanding, the rebirth presents more of a unified front than the one-time giant has offered in the past.</a><br /> </div></div>
