It makes no sense for the purposes set out on the registration page because 
the iPlayer  already has a much more useful facility to allow the user to 
select which regional or local programmes are to be presented regardless of 
location.  In addition it makes a fairly good guess at location.  As far as 
I am aware there are no regional or local television or radio stations which 
serve a single post code.
