How can DISH prove an IPTV subscriber is actually viewing their service? A subscriber may only be watching foreign channels. How can they demand payment for something that is not used?

In a Civil action the bar for proving is far less than Criminal. I am not a lawyer but think a Court could be persuaded it was more likely than not.
“a preponderance of the evidence.” This standard requires the jury to return a judgment in favor of the plaintiff if the plaintiff is able to show that a particular fact or event was more likely than not to have occurred.
