Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Good luck...
...the digital signal doesn't bounce the way the old analogue one does, so no tell-tale ghost signal would be picked up by a van - if they even exist(ed).

Wasn't it the television tuner's IF that was picked up by the vans?
I don't know much about digital reception, but I'd guess some sort of superheterodyne tuning is still used. I'm willing to be corrected though.

Quite.
In France, if you sell a second-hand TV to someone, you are legally bound to inform them who you sold it to.
