Just be careful. If the tuner is still operating (and it is likely
to be doing
so) when playing, then they can detect that and you will be up in
court.

Detect what and how?

In theory, you can detect the output from the local oscillator in the
TV's tuner - and this would disclose what channel the tuner is
currently attempting to tune. However it does not demonstrate that the
output from the tuner is actually be watched or recorded.


That is the correct answer.

It is all "in theory".

The TVLA would have to give the working details of a detector van to the
courts if they ever used such a device to obtain a warrant.

I've been in one and played with the equipment. They do (or did)
exist and do work.

Never used in court. And they did not exist. You were tricked.

These days though, it is more likely to involve a hand-held device,
since they
already have the addresses of people without licences and just walk
up to their
front door.

The only hand held device that works properly is a penis.
