Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing cable TV a la carte service, wherein customers only pay for programs actually presented to their TV monitors. Customers are provided with keys for unscrambling TV signals from any channel provided by a service provider. The customers signal to the service provider the identification of a channel being provided to their monitor whenever they turn on their TV. The service provider uses the record of times and channels to perform charging for the customer. Advantageously, customers need not pay for programs not presented to their monitors.
