Perhaps the issue is not the format, but the content.
I have seen 2 different versions of some of the episodes of season 1 (including the miniseries that started it all). The most striking differences I recall had to do with profanity (using BSG terms vs standard terms) and the length of a steamier scene. Also, I believe that there are differences in the intro music etc.
I suspect that the UK version means that it includes content which is slightly different than what was broadcast in the US.
