They force you to have an account with them in order to watch TV online. Smart thinking on their part.

That truck depends on leakage from the TV set. One can shield such emissions.
Of course IF one watches via Net live stream that makes it mind blowing to detect - Can but that means they have to snoop your cable feeds

You’d better pay your TV licence fee. Day and night, the BBC’s detector vans roam the streets seeking out unlicensed viewers. You could be next!
We haven’t heard quite so much about these four-wheeled agents of the surveillance state in recent years, but they’re back in the news because the Daily Telegraph ran a front-page story on plans to update them to detect people watching iPlayer, the BBC’s online live and catch-up viewing service, which is available free of charge within the UK. Previously, a licence was required to watch live programmes on iPlayer, in just the same way as if you watched them using a TV aerial, but not if you watched them later. From September, a licence will be required to watch any TV content on iPlayer.
‘The Daily Telegraph can disclose,’ said the Daily Telegraph, ‘that from next month, the BBC vans will fan out across the country capturing information from private Wi-Fi networks in homes to “sniff out” those who have not paid the licence fee. The corporation has been given legal dispensation to use the new technology, which is typically only available to crime-fighting agencies.’
‘The disclosure will lead to fears about invasion of privacy,’ predicted the paper. No kidding. So rapidly did those concerns flood social media that within a day the BBC was issuing a statement that ‘it is wrong to suggest that our technology involves capturing data from private wi-fi networks’.
This seemed to render moot an emerging debate between computer security experts about how the BBC might detect, from the kerb, that people were accessing iPlayer, along with a parallel debate between lawyers about how it might do so without its staff or contractors going to prison.
Capturing data from private networks would certainly require some kind of legal cover. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (British Broadcasting Corporation) Order 2001 already permitted TV Licensing, the BBC’s licence enforcement arm, to use powers created in the notorious Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) to deploy detection equipment. If this was to be amended in the even more notorious Investigatory Powers (IP) bill currently going through parliament, there was no sign of it in existing drafts. But if no data was to be ‘captured’ at all from private networks, what would TV Licensing be requesting permission for? What would the vans be doing?
