Story: Fixed BBC iPlayer hacked again
Just for interest, how could the BBC build such a system?
Wouldn't the BBC need access to the TV license database to do what you're requesting? And then ask overseas users to enter their TV license number or something before being allowed access to the site? And what would you expect to happen if your license number seemed to be being used by people other than you?
Or were you hoping more for a checkbox like: "Are you a UK TV license payer? (Y/N)"?
