One of the easiest ways to watch the World Cup online is 
by using catch-up TV services like the 
BBC's iPlayer  or 
ITV's Player . Many stations are also streamed live on the web, and 
perhaps the best site to use to keep a track of them all 
is 123WebTV , 
as it features a handy EPG style set-up  to scroll through. 

Alternatively, grab yourself an 
Elgato EyeTV DTT Deluxe  , 
a USB dongle with it's own TV aerial that can pick up Freeview 
signals, with a clean and lever user interface. It's a bit pricey 
though, and will set you back around £80.
