Exactly, take Medium.
The BBC have had first run rights to this up to series 4 and have been showing early series 1 and 2 repeats.
Sci Fi have the rerun rights and have been repeating series 3 and 4.
Both of the above still are, I think.
However, Living has won the first run rights to series 5 and will show this (the most recent screened in the US earlier this year) - believed to be from late August.
Hallmark is screening early series reruns of House (Sky 1 only has the most current series being screened right now).
Indeed Hallmark is probably your best bet for searching US series as they screen a lot, mostly older series of current hits (though they have some first run rights to big shows such as Law and Order: SVU and Criminal Intent, but not Law and Order proper - Sky has the first run rights to this and starts series 18 next Tuesday at 23.00....this is the first episode in which Linus Roache, UK actor son of Ken Barlow's Bill Roache, becomes a main cast member).
Hallmark have a good website that tells you what series and episodes are being shown.
But Digiguide is fantastic for info like this as it often lists weeks ajead, gives data on series and episode numbers and is very searchable. It is not free but is a great piece of software for TV lovers lost in the multichannel maze.
