That’s a conspiracy theory based on the fact that nobody was ever convicted based on TV detector van evidence.
They were a real thing, the documentary evidence is vast, and the claims sometimes made that the vans and documentation around them was just one massive psyop really isn’t credible.
The reality though is that they weren’t very accurate and at best gave enforcers a pointer as to which unlicenced houses to knock at. Then as now it’s almost always confession evidence that does it. The vans were a starting point and a deterrent, as they were quite visible.
