It is unlikely you are obliged to disclose unless you supply TV sets in the
student accommodation.
If you would like to disclose the information, you would have to include it
in the student "contract" - ie "it is the policy of this organisation to
disclose, to the BBC or their contractors, information about students where we are
aware they are using a television set in their room." How you actually find
out whether they are using one is a human rights and privacy issue.
