I don't think you watch the regular stream via the browser. They seem to have special mobile and ipad/tablet support. See the WC section under their home page: http://www.willow.tv/EventMgmt/Default.asp
You have to realize that they are not showing the world cup live on mobile/iphone etc.

If you have certain phone with certain browser which can access the whole website instead of their mobile site, then you can easily watch the stream I doubt one would have to do all this though. It should be able to play your live stream on cell phone like how it regularly does these days just by going on m.willow.tv

good to know, although my decision isn't based on mobile support. i really like the willow.tv replay feature, due to timezone differences, I will end up watching many games on replay. OTH, I have to watch live via wireless with my laptop connected to my big screen TV which can and does buffer. I think I will go with the dishnetwork option and record all those matches I want to watch later. Dish also typically replays the games the same day in a more friendly time like PST evenings.

It looks like they are streaming it to iphone. I haven't conformed, but from the event page it seems so...

Mobile streaming works for willow TV subscriptions. You have to go to m.willow.tv and log in from there. If you are connected through wifi, it works great - no lags, buffering etc. If you are on 3G network, it's still decent. I watched an Ashes test on it while traveling in a train from DC to NYC and it would start to lag in areas of poor coverage, but by and large it was good. For $129, it's a really good deal because they are giving six months free from July to December which will have the India-England series and India-Australia series.

the $129 deal is only for select customers, I got the $199 deal in which they offer 12 months of monthly access + the world cup. the $129 is the sweeter deal, especially for fans of Indian Cricket.

Shwetabh is rite. If you are on wifi. It's streams better. It al depends where you are and how better signal you getting. I used to watch India vs saf series odi's from my home to workplace every day atleast for half an hour in my car. It really is a terrific service by willow tv. @Shwetabh. a window popped up about the recent $129 package. I didn't buy that time. Will that offer be still available for us? and where have the mentioned about the streaming of other remaining series in the year free?

If you have decent speeds on the net, there should not be a problem connecting your computer to a bigger screen tv. I suggest using an HDMI cable which will have no hardware lag.

Anyone has ROKU? Roku now has willow.tv
I never properly understood what a ROKU player is. Care to explain? I know that it streams online videos straight to your tv so that you would not need to connect your computer to your tv.

Iphone is capable of accessing both mobile and whole sites but it just does not support "FLASH" based applications. Without flash you can not even open a youtube video if you went on "www.youtube.com". It's a different thing that they have a separate youtube app. I still have my doubts on willow.tv streaming live world cup on their application. I will be very surprised if they did.

I bought on Jan 25th it was still available. I didn't check if the offer also included June to dec. But if it doesn't works out, I am going for the 15 $/m deal to cover Eng and Aus and WI series. It's a steal imo. still better than the 200+ $s I paid for Dish the last time around for the WC.

If you have PS3, like I do, you can simply watch the stream through that also on your tv. Works great.. Though espn3.com streams don't work, but Willow i guess have taken care of ps3. This for me is a real bonus. No hassle of connecting your laptop to tv.

You crazy people paying for streams, I just watch on extracover.net on my phone when at work. Occasionally may cut off, just refresh the page again and you're good to go, plus quality is good enough for a phone screen
