what about that detector van thingy? can't they prove that you've been using the TV from the signals detected by the van?

They can't prosecute on that evidence alone, they need more substantial evidence I believe..

Hello?!? Your in halls of residence. There are 50 other rooms around yours. How will they tell room from room from communal areas? They cannot pinpoint an individual TV. I for one am not licensing my TV unless it's absolutly necessary.

in our halls of residence we were just told not to let them into the room (we were told the visit day in advance, in accordance with their regulations).

as they have no right to enter private rooms, a police warrant is needed, in which time the TV can be tuned out of BBC/ITV etc.
