- http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk and http://www.iWorld.co.uk Have the Gadgets you Need to Watch the World Cup Even if you Have to Work

Want to watch the World Cup but still need to pay the mortgage? Happily you can do both without getting a job at Asda!* Just as long as you have a computer then you can quickly create a 'World Cup Work Survival Kit' - all you need is access to the internet to visit http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk and http://www.iWorld.co.uk to get the gear.

Watch, pause, rewind and fast forward LIVE TV on your computer

If you don't already work at Asda then chances are you have access to a computer, and if you have a computer then a quick visit to http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk can turn it into a TV - job done! What's more a TV you can control. Do your own action replay to settle any offside disputes and rewind the best bits to heart's content knowing you can skip back to live action at any time. Choose from:

- NEW for PCs ADS Tech Mini Dual TV, GBP98.99, http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk

Mini Dual TV receives both analogue and digital TV signals on all free-view channels. The match will be automatically recorded onto your hard drive and its powerful Time Shift function lets you pause and rewind live TV. Want to watch it again at home? Simple, just make a DVD from your computer's hard drive.

- NEW for MACs Elgato Eye TV 250, GBP139.99, http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk

Mac Users may want to upgrade a little and choose the new Elgato Eye TV 250 which does all of the above and can also convert your existing VHS collection into digital format. EyeTV 250's built-in hardware encoder compresses audio and video signals to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats, freeing up your computer's processor for other activities - namely 'alt-tab' to look busy when the boss is making his rounds!

If you are using your laptop to watch the game, do remember to take precautions against power failure to ensure you aren't deprived of any nail-biting penalty shoot-outs. http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk offers a comprehensive 'own-brand' battery replacement service making a back-up power source affordable for all instead of costing nearly the same as a new computer!
