They wouldn't would they, theres very little technology involved in finding illegal boxes other than pinging them while an engineer works his way back through the network from the headend to the customers drop looking for the set-top transmitting.

Without a tip off, its like finding a needle in a haystack.

Their technology can only narrow it down to the last few hundred houses connected to the network at best, it cant even be narrowed down to paying customers because many disconnected ones still have drops connected in some areas.
