But yes ITV streaming quality is less than SD, quite pixelated, not great. Not sure if they have a special service for the RWC.
I absolutely despise Sky and don't want to sponsor them in any way so I'm likely to go the ITV route via proxy/VPN/DNS

You need a uk roku. Which you can do with a US one...but means doing a reset, creating a uk roku account and then attaching roku to that.
Always sounded like a painful process and didn't sound like you could easily switch between the 2 (ie sign out uk and sign in US).

I have a roku, but don't like the idea of changing the region from US just for a few weeks.
Will the games be available on the ITV website? And more importantly will it work via chromecast?

robbon44: If you have access to unotelly or similar to create a VPN on a tablet or your phone or PC then you can access the roku UK website and create an address. The VPN enables you to appear to be present in the UK..or USA
Once you have the account/address entered its a factory reset on the roku box and then link the roku box with the account you just set up via a "link code" provided by the reset process.
enter in the link code to your account and "pair" the device with the account then it downloads the channels from the UK or USA store dependent upon where you have opened it.
I created a UK account and a USA account. Once you have them established its not difficult to "unlink" and "link" as you see fit.
ITV player will also ask for a UK postcode on initial set up before it lets loose watching live streamed coronation street...
Once you get your head around how to get all the ducks lined up its quite a straight forward process, not the easiest in the world but ..

I'd expect so, thats probably how I'll end up watching them, the off the web site bit, I have a computer attached to my tv. Or proxying to work from home. For the couple of during the week ones that start at 7am
