Just Sharing This FreeView - iPlayer - Asking for detail

[Channel Hopper]

Others may have seen this, but BBC iPlayer has been suggesting for a few weeks now that at some point you need to register with 'them'.

Last night I could not get to watch TV on the iPod and so did the deed, giving detail required, email and password (with a suitable addendum that if this has anything to do with Capita then I will be including a bill for their timewasting from a few years back).

Tonight and on the PC, on a completely different broadband connection, I'm advised the registration is still not mandatory and can watch TV without submitting detail.

So, is the iPlayer App via Apple a few hours/days ahead in their needs/threats, or have I been scammed ?

Using the iOS app I get this message



At the moment I can hit the do it later option.

I can still watch the iPlayer

Thanks. The 'I'll do it later' option was missing on the iPod yesterday.

Already registered there some time ago I saw the screen Chris 1979 mentioned & just logged in without any problems with my PC & Laptop.

Same message using iPad



Hit the I'll do it later option and it plays fine, after I clicked the I have a TV license option.
