1) Has no cursing/violence edits
2) Is a high quality digital sattelite capture
...and thus doesn't need to be cut together with the commercial DVD? If that's so, deal me in. I'll seed like crazy.

I don't know anything about the Sci-Fi version, but the Encore version that RB has includes all the cursing and whatnot.
As far as quality, I seem to recall there being a couple of caps posted a long time ago, and I believe it's a VHS transfer, so the quality isn't fantastic...but you take what you can get. RB, if I'm wrong about the quality, please correct me.
Edit: I found the screenshot. It's on the first or second page. Here's the image:
As you can see, the quality isn't to write home about, but keep in mind, as far I know, the last time this aired on TV was a few years back, when DVD-recorders were a little more uncommon than they are now, and movies were shown a lot more in full screen. Actually, just did a little reading, and the director's cut aired on ABC in 1998, and I'm kinda assuming it's been about as long since Encore showed it, so....damn near 10 years ago.
BTW, from what I understand, this is about 2 hrs and 56 minutes, 40 minutes longer than the original, so quite a treat.
Oh yeah, and btw, earlier in the thread, somebody mentioned a version of Home and Away that was about 40 minutes longer than the original. Does anybody have that bad boy floating around? Not a bad movie, so I'd like to see the longer version.
