Fox doesn't have the rights to sell the video - those rights belong to 
Universal. However, Universal can't *exercise* that right until Fox has 
rebroadcast the movie. Which Fox seems to have no plan to do - and it does 
not appear that Universal cares about releasing the video, or else, 
presumably, they would either pressure Fox to schedule a rerun or even buy 
back the broadcast rights.

it became fair game after that.
That was my understanding. And that TIME rapidly approaches.
I can't wait to get a "real" copy.
Hopefully it could be the next DVD released. (Maybe the first for us in the
States)
What story does everyone think should be the next to goto DVD?

Ark in Space!!  I want a copy in episode format before I get to the
early Tom Baker stories.  Ark has special significance to me because
it was the first story I can remember watching (I may have seen Robot
before it, but I'm not sure).  The cliffhanger at the end of episode
one hooked me on the series.  Scared the crap out of me at the age
of six or seven. . .

So, how many times does FOX have to air the movie before Universal can
release it to video?  I know that it aired in my area (Columbus Ohio USA)
at least twice, and think it may have aired a third time if my memory
serves correctly.

Are you totally sure that's a condition of the movie going to video? Seems a
damn silly one...

 ran it twice in your area?  They only ran it once everywhere else.
Here in Victoria, BC, Canada, the local station showed the TVM the evening
before it premiered on Fox, so it was sort of shown twice. Fox, however,
has still only shown it the one time, causing the whole copyright/video
difficulty.
But I still got to see the movie a night before most people. Neener. :-)

Yes, I'm positive that they re-ran it at least once in my area, because I
missed taping it the first time it ran (Rassilon forgive me!), so I had
to catch it on the repeat.  And I have it on tape now, so it ran at least
twice in my area.  Plus, I thought they reran it again a few months later
in the spring, for a grand total of 3 airings.  Hmmmmmm......

twice in my area.  
Are you sure you didn't just catch a satellite feed?  I saw the feed a few
hours before the movie was shown on Fox in my area, but only caught the
last 1/2 of the feed, so didn't get it taped until the regular showing a
few hours later.

Yes, I'm sure.  These first two showings in my area were days apart.
