Only having HD on BBC2 Wales, I set a serial link on it for Top Gear. But the snooker overran (what a shock!) so I decided to watch Top Gear on the iPlayer.

Up popped a message telling me to sign on online to get a 5 digit PIN. Not wanting to boot my PC just for that, I took the option to call the 0800 number for the PIN ("valid until the end of the day").

Am I the only one that can forsee access to iPlayer being via an payable 0870 number at some point, or by a payable online link? And then similar for all BBC TV content?
