The EXACT same scheme was tried up here in Portland Oregon.
Same letter, same 300 bucks etc.  A lawyer downtown said
he would represent you for a flat fee of 75 bucks in a class
action suit against the tv company that broadcasts HBO here.

I haven't heard a thing yet and it has been a year.

Photographic and electronic evidence would seem not to
hold up in court.  To pick up your local oscillator, and have
a verifiable method of determining it was your antenna, and
you happened to be watching at that time, on that date, etc.,
doesn't sound to good to me.

What ever you do, do not pay!!!  The communications act of 1934
has not been adequately cited in these cases.

Besides, why shouldn't I be able to pick up any signal I can,
that is irradiating my house??
