UTC+08:00, 12 hours ahead of EST. So for example, the 11:00pm showing would be at 11:00am EST.
Was the hate for Kai largely unjustified?

The story of Kai's production is far more interesting than the actual product.

How will the viewers there or people recording those movie airings be able to tell if it's the AB Groupe dub or not?

Because of what the actors sound like and the script used.

according to this page:
The UK airing of the film on Toonami (which was titled "Dragon Ball: The Legend of Shenron") was shown uncut and also featured the original Japanese opening, "Makafushigi Adventure!".
Does that mean that only this airing was the only fully uncut version of this movie with Eng Dub? Would it be that this upcomming airing again on Toonami will be the same?

The Dragon Ball Wikia is a resource that most people on this site take with a grain of salt. That being said...

There are at least three english DB Movie 1 dubs that aired on TV (or probably aired on TV), Harmony Gold (US), Funimation/BLT (US) and AB Groupe/"Big Green" (UK). In addition, there is an uncut in-house Funimation dub that may or may not have aired on TV (no idea). I know for the fact that the Harmony Gold and Funi/BLT dubs are censored. As for the AB Groupe dub, I honestly have no idea whether it was censored or not. I heard a rumor that the French master for DB Movie 1 did have cuts...but I can't be certain if its true.

You know, that first clip almost sounds like it was working with a somewhat okay script, at least compared to other Big Green dubs. That second one, however, is definitely classic, unintelligible Big Green. Hilarious.

Now that the airings were on, I wonder if someone who recorded can upload clips so we can see if it's the Big Green dub or not.

Did anyone record the movies? I'm most curious about the 2nd movie.

Hopefully someone who recorded them will share a few clips, I'm really hoping someone who recorded these will upload a video showing how the BG dub of Movie 3 ends if these were in fact the BG dub.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

It's borderline impossible to find someone with access to these South East Asian channels and a capture card.
