It won't appear on R2 until it's been shown on SKY1.
Yeah splitting the R1 is all about making more money but
remember that the second season is 20eps compared to the
first seasons 12. The second half of season 2 doesn't air
on the US scifi channel until next month.

Many R1 boxsets are dirt cheap compared to R2 but some
are not such as the Trek boxsets and Deadwood are not and
alas it looks like BSG either a two boxset or single set will be
expensive compared to others.
