If these things really did exist (that is, with some electronic wizardry inside them, rather than just an empty van used as a scare tactic), then they must have been one of the daftest wastes of money ever.
Pretty much every home in the UK has a TV. The retaler has to inform the licensing people when you buy a new one, and they know everyone who has a licence. So why not just call on every home that doesn't have a licence? 
Much cheaper and just as effective I would have thought.
