Movies on TV vs. home video (VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc.)

Have you ever noticed how some movies are often unscrupulously edited to fit within a fixed range and for content, instead of just going 100%? Why do they do that? And more importantly, what can one do to see the movie in question in its entirety with almost no unscrupulous edits whatsoever?

Common sense would say to watch the movie in question on home video (i.e., DVD, VHS, etc.) instead, but what does home video have that TV doesn't?

I ask this not only because it's something in general that bugs me, but I just saw "She's Having a Baby", but they cut out the very last scene of the movie: around the end credits, there is a rapid succession of suggestions for the name of the baby, but it was cut, as most TV airings of movies are.

So what would be the solution here? If the answer is home video (I use this as an umbrella term), what would that have/do that TV hasn't/doesn't?

Probally on Modern Airings that Aired on Disney Channels (including Freeform) They Want to Save Room for Commercials.
