BBC Sport app brings World Cup streaming to UK Roku boxes

The BBC's desire to launch apps for all manner of connected devices sees it bring sporting coverage to UK Roku boxes at an exciting time. With the 2014 World Cup just a few short weeks away, the Beeb's new Sport app delivers the latest news and highlights on all Roku streaming players (including the new Streaming Stick). More importantly, it also offers live streaming of major sporting events. To help users enjoy the greatest footballing show on earth, the BBC has introduced a dedicated filter option for the tournament, opening access to the 31 games it'll broadcast during its "first 24/7 World Cup."
