Just got a call from down stairs. 'Come and sort this out, will you'.
My wife tried to watch an earlier episode of East Enders (I know, I can't see why either) via Iplayer, and it appears that one now has to register with the BBC and enter a code.
This ties my tv to my computer. And when I go to Iplayer my name is displayed on the tv screen.
So now the BBC is keeping track of who is watching what on their tv.
Yep. Annoying as a license number ought to have been all the asked for. I don't watch the iPlayer I CBA when I've got Netflix and YouTube on the telly anyway.
Seeing as I'm neither female, gay or black which seemingly makes me a sexist homophobic racist apparently in the eyes of the BBC (going by 95% of their output), I rarely find anything I want to watch from the BBC anymore. I make my own TV schedule online instead.
It's possible that the Beeb will do a Google on us and start showing lists of programs it deems you may like going by what you have watched in the past.

Even this won’t prepare you for the creative vacuum and talent vampire that is Mel Giedroyc. Such is her power of draining the talent around her, everything she touches turns to shit while she just rolls her eyes and giggles.

I don't hold a license as I don't have a TV and don't watch anything live on iplayer.
They tried to get me with the sign up thing after a link got posted on the Facebook Fortean group to a paranormal themed radio programme, afaik legal to listen to but i'm not going to risk it just in case... also it's too fucking snoopy for my taste.
I'm just glad I don't pay for the TV licence in our house.
Public Enemy were 100% correct over 30 years ago and nothings changed, if anything it's got worse .. I'd change the "radiation" part to "emotional constipation"
This seems like pretty desperate stuff. And now we want to encourage children to watch television? I think for the whole of my childhood I heard that adults wanted children to watch less television!
