Streaming the World Cup to an iPhone or iPad is all well and good, but if you’re already carrying a laptop you have everything you need to receive high quality TV on the go. Read on, and we’ll spell out exactly how to turn that large-screened workhorse into a portable World Cup theatre!

The World Cup doesn’t just mean a battle between the world’s greatest ball-kickers. It also heralds a battle for the TV remote.
Expect arguments, bargaining and low-down trickery as your family squabbles over the big screen. Of course, you could enter the fray and hope to catch the second half of a crucial quarter final, or you could guarantee you see every World Cup game in peace and quiet, using your iPhone or iPad.
With an Elgato EyeTV Netstream DTT installed at home, there’s no need to worry about watching World Cup matches on the shared TV in the lounge, or hunching over a tiny screen in a back bedroom.
Elgato’s smart EyeTV Netstream DTT takes a standard Freeview signal, and distributes it across your home network, letting any computer in the house tune in.
So your boss is making you miss the match, and won’t let you watch the World Cup at your desk, eh? Never fear. Elgato has everything you need to watch the World Cup in secret at work using your iPhone or iPad.
Elgato EyeTV tuners can keep your eyes on the game, even while you’re stuck in the office. Feeling left out as the rest of the nation settles down to the qualifiers, quarter finals, semis or even the World Cup final? You need Elgato on your side.
