On the one hand I think they are a little overpriced for what they
are. On the other hand, they're better than nothing and I'm glad to
have them available.

Canadian TVLand via satellite.

Commercials are edited out. They do have a TVLand logo in the lower
right hand corner. It's a white logo with a transparent background.
It doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like many of today's logos do.
One disk I just checked, season 4 disk 1, contains five episodes with
the following lengths:

Title: 01, Length: 00:25:50.186 Chapters: 04, Cells: 04, Audio
streams: 01, Subpictures: 00

Title: 02, Length: 00:24:28.166 Chapters: 04, Cells: 04, Audio
streams: 01, Subpictures: 00

Title: 03, Length: 00:24:28.243 Chapters: 04, Cells: 05, Audio
streams: 01, Subpictures: 00

Title: 04, Length: 00:24:18.310 Chapters: 04, Cells: 04, Audio
streams: 01, Subpictures: 00

Title: 05, Length: 00:25:52.253 Chapters: 04, Cells: 04, Audio
streams: 01, Subpictures: 00

He is Canadian.

The Miller era episodes have the Jeff's Collie title cards. One Timmy
era episode I've seen so far has had the Adventures of Lassie title
card. The rest from the Timmy era have had the Lassie title card.
I'm almost up to season nine in my Lassie-thon.
