All users of the BBC's iPlayer service will have to log in with a personal account from early 2017.

Users of BBC services can already create an online account - known as a BBC ID - but this is not currently required in order to access iPlayer.

From Tuesday, BBC ID holders also have to add a postcode to their account information.

I just about laughed myself silly when the statement that got read on the radio this morning tried to claim this wasn't about licencing.
I suspect once you've provided your postcode at some point they'll ask you to associate a TV licence number with the account as well.

And here we go.

Now, all I have to do is remember my password.
