Unless someone can supply a reason why going straight to DVD would be better?

Joss does have a built in TV audience, just a considerably smaller one than Disney. Add in the fact that the hacks running the Sci-Fi channel will be creaming themselves running to pay him the money for the rights for the first ever broadcast of said movie ad you have a recipe for limited success that is exactly the thing Joss would go for.
That way he's in a no lose situation. If the movie doesn't sell well he can say that there wasn't enough money behind the making of it and if it does, he can boast of what he could do with more money and power.
And TV execs generally being idiots and the people he hangs around with, one of them will believe him and give him what he wants.
Really you have to admire a man who's managed to parlay his limited creative skills together with an as yet unmatched or unchallenged mastery of spin doctoring into the career he's had. He has completely bullfeathered everyone who has the power to hurt his career into thinking he's so much than he really is and that nothing is ever his fault.
