if FOX owns the first air rights, the brits will have to wait for FOX to either (a) air the episodes, or (b) decide they don't want to air them ever.
however, since the brits don't plan on starting Firfly till May, it'll be late August before any of the unaired episodes are slated to be shown.
by late Auguest, either FOX will have already shown the unaired episodes, or they will have decided that they don't plan on showing them ever (i mean, its not like FOX is going to wait till next summer). in either case, the brits will be free air them.
and when that happens, you bastards better make some great encodes. you owe us.
Keep Flyin'

Edited my post... had posted a rant, and then realised I had misread a response...
Does anyone know anything more about "First Air" rights?
In a post near the top I gave the example of SG1 and SciFi US - which didn't seem to have a problem letting a UK channel air the newest episodes before airing them stateside. Same goes for Farscape. Hmm, I would wonder if perhaps this is something that SciFi US do regularly? But then, I am pretty sure that even when SG1 was on Showtime, we still got the last few episodes in the UK ahead of their first US airing...
Anyhoo, don't wan't to get myself stuck on an infinite loop.
I will be making as high quality encodes as I am able to with my eyetv box and making the eps available at the usual places. Still pissed that we (probably) aren't going to get widescreen versions though :(

Playing the series in The US and oversea are two different things. It's syndication. For telecasting, sadly Fox Network has the current rights to the show...although those rights should be expiring soon. For overseas, it's 20th Century Fox that has the rights to syndicate. Uk SciFi purchased those rights from 20th Century Fox to telecast the episodes.
In anycase, no chance of seeing Firefly in the US until Fox Network's rights expire. Most likely after summer. I expect see Firefly again on US TV maybe a year or so on the most logical place, SciFi Channel.

LOST EPISODES NOW AVAILABLE FROM SELLER ON EBAY! The episodes which haven't aired in the US are now being sold by an eBay seller called 'philshibano' on eBay...same guy who was selling the 'Blue Sun' mug not too long ago. The bids are at about $35 right now, but the reserve is not yet met, so who knows how high it'll go. Still, it's a VHS copy of 'Heart of Gold', 'Trash', and 'The Message.'
Thought I'd put that out there!

Did our Mark get them thar lost episodes, or was that some other Mark? If'n our Mark got 'em, he be sure to put them out to the rest of us, I reckon.

If'n he isn't our Mark, can we find him and keep him? Then he'd be our Mark too. Then he'd be so overwhelmed with the feeling of brotherlyness (and sisterlyness) that we browncoats share, that he'd be right obligated to share with us!

He (or she) HAS to be one of us. It is time for all of us to look our fellow Firefly fans in the eye, and see who blinks.
Either that or he's part of the evil conspiracy that shut down Firefly in the first place.
