IPL Twenty Twenty Cricket - Where to watch

So here in USA, where can we watch IPL live? I called customer service of Dish tv, and they are not covering this event. Then I started looking on internet. I tried the following before making my decision:

1. Direct TV: They are charging 99$ for this series, but unfortunately we don't have direct tv.
2. Willow.tv: They are charging 79$ for this series. That looked little high to me. I have tried Willow tv in past their quality is good and reliable, but I didn't want to spend 79$ for watching it on my computer.
3. Cric7.com: http://www.cric7.com/ They provide soapcast and tvu links (P2P streaming). I decided to skip this, not a good fan of P2P.
4. There are many free sites available who claim to stream IPL live (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090411125159AAO3iPq) , I tried couple of them, again P2P.

So, I finally ended up buying it from tvnsports (http://www.tvnsports.com/) for 19.99$, that sounded a pretty good deal to me. I watched the first match between Mumbai Indians & Chennai Superkings. I had to watch it On Demand, as I somehow could not get up in time to watch it live.

After watching few minutes, I thought I just wasted my 20 bucks. There were problem in streaming, it will stop in between for some time for buffering and the quality looked not so good after connecting my laptop to my 47'' LCD HDTV. But after some time, the sream stablized and there were no more stopping in between.  Quality is OK.
I will be watching the next matches live, and will provide feedback on the quality and streaming.
