you have to hook it up with internet. It's an online stream but an HD one, very close to 1080p. Not to mention you need to have above 15mbps download internet connection....

Also the Roku1(49) has only WiFi options but ROku3 ($99) has a option of wired connection from the router/modem for reliable & speedy streaming...

Yes, Rogers prices are way off the roof. I am only interested in one match, so it's a downer for me. Will try other options.

I already have a media player, and don't want another. So, I will pass the Roku option as well.

XBMC has some sports channels where I normally catch up India matches. Let me see if it works that day.

Overall, as far as broadcasting the Matches live is concerned, it's a bummer. India's performance is another one. I don't see much of an interest this time.

Correction - the schedule for OMNI BC is showing Cricket on February 14th. Thank goodness. Will confirm it further by calling them as well.

The timing of these matches are really odd, not sure we will remain awake always to watch matches fully. I hope the world cup generates immense interest through its format to motivate us to do nights.
Oh boy!, there will be lot of beer in me this month.
