I'm guessing nothing.

BBCiPlayer uses a vendor feed of last 7 days which does not have
preferences and no feedback mechanism.  Are all the vendors going to
rely on a BBC auth procedures (legal issues would be great) and somehow
adding userids into their devcies - unlikely.

The Apps for iOS, Android and Web browser - BBC have long wanted to have
"my xxx" so they can "tailor" suggestions - "in order to provide a
better services"  - this is one of the reason they got rid of the old
feeds with A-z and schedule etc.  

It is the lastest fad for UIs making sure you'll never find a sepcfic
program becuase they think you won't like it.
