Went to watch iPlayer on the V6, and instead of the optional Sign In, it is now mandatory. I knew it was coming, of course, but I was a little surprised it changed in the middle of the week.

Anyway...why doesn't the Guest option mentioned in the Help pages show up?

I've logged in with my account, but I had planned on using the Guest function as my taste isn't the same as others in the house. Or do you need to have two BBC accounts logged in before Guest shows? I can't see anything to explain why it's not there on the iPlayer help pages.
