Pay TV Multiplexes
Many Pay TV services on cable television offer multiplex packages, in which a single service offers a number of separate channels to its subscribers. The channels may be distinct, be timeshifted, or offer different views of the same event like overviews of a car race, the view from different drivers' cars, or a view of the pits. Some pay TV multiplexes offer picture in picture (PIP) capabilities to follow the various feeds simultaneously on one screen. If the hardware allows, several channels in one multiplex can be viewed simultaneously.
Pay TV may be on a subscription or a pay-per-view basis.

Famous quotes containing the word pay:
“The ancients adorned their sarcophagi with the emblems of life and procreation, and even with obscene symbols; in the religions of antiquity the sacred and the obscene often lay very close together. These men knew how to pay homage to death. For death is worthy of homage as the cradle of life, as the womb of palingenesis.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
