Instructions for Online Streaming Telecast [FIFA World Cup]

Update#2: If you are here for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, click through to this latest post. There are lot of legal and free options now compared to previous years.

Update: If you are here for the 2007 Cricket World Cup, you might want to check out these online telecast/webcast options.

Since I am receiving a ton of google searches for information on online streaming video for the 2006 FIFA World Cup [original post], I am putting up a short list of instructions to get things started:

1. Download TVU streaming player,

2. Install it on your computer after choosing the right language.

3. Open the video player and let it connect to the TVU network.

4. After connecting, you can double-click on the channels on the left side-bar to launch the channel. World Cup Football is on channels ESPN (Sports), ESPN2, and ABC. Check the TV listings here (now updated for the 2012 World Cup.

5. Depending on your Internet connection speed, let the online stream buffer and it will start playing. The screen will be pixelated for sometime but it will gradually stabilize. If it does not, then click on the Refresh button.

6. To change channels, simply double-click on the channels in the sidebar.

7. Due to possible high bandwidth consumption, the player may not connect to the network at your workplace. Ask your network administrator (if you can).

8. Enjoy the ‘Joga Bonito’.
