    If you mean AirPlay, you can only wirelessly stream video (either the iPad's screen or an app with video out) via an Apple TV or a computer running software such as Reflector or AirServer (the computer would be connected to the TV). There are other devices, including Apple's Airport Express and a number of third-party audio receivers and speaker sets, that can stream audio only.

    I had not heard of this before.  U verse says they have an app in the store that does just what you say.  Download it and give it a try.

    The U-Verse app can stream or download content for playback on the iPad, and can remotely control or program a U-Verse receiver, but I don't see anything in the description that says it can stream video to the receiver. I can't say it's not possible, though. It would, however, work only with content in the U-Verse app; it would not apply to anything else on the iPad.
