I'm not sure what channels you get, but Eurosport have been giving good coverage every day. I think it's now the only free sports channel thanks to Sky Sports. -.-

I'm watching it right now on Dish. I had to buy a sports package that included BEIn sports. It was $9 a month I think.

BTW...I will get to watch the stage on 5/26 live as I am off to the Italian Cycling Center on 5/24. The finish on the 26th is 20 K from the hotel. We are supposed to ride to watch them climb some hill. Going to attempt Monte Grappa while there.

For some reason I have BEin on Dish, a channel I've never noticed before. The cycling coverage offered on this channel is amazingly comprehensive. They had complete coverage of all of the classics: MSR, P-R, LBL... even semi-obscure ones like 3 Days of De Panne, E3 and Amstel Gold. They also had every stage of all of the early stage races: Paris-Nice, T-A, Basque Country, Oman (most boring race ever?), Romandie etc. All of this was in HD. It was the first time I've seen a lot of these races. It was the first time I've seen any of them in HD on cable. They even broadcasted the Little 500 from IU in HD this year. The Little 500, it turns out, is a ton of fun to watch.
The Giro coverage seems fine. Video is excellent: clean full HD (is this a first for the Giro in the US). Commentary is typical B-string European guys sitting in a studio somewhere.
