   I wouldn't parse the language so precisely as to read "unedited" to   
   mean "we didn't edit out the commercials from our over-the-air   
   tapes."  (And I wouldn't take a bootlegger's word for *anything*. )   
   I assume they mean the episodes themselves are not edited for content   
   or time and appear just as they would have on American TV.  But the   
   source could still be anything.  Bootlegs based on the VCDs are as   
   good a guess as any, but they could also be converted and dubbed from   
   the PAL tapes that were released in the UK.
