ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for subscription control is applicable to one-way subscription television services, in general, and direct broadcast satellite television transmissions, in particular. Individual subscribers can subscribe to a variety of programs in advance and can select a pay-per- view program on impulse. In the former case, television programs can be marketed in terms of "program categories" either as individual programs or as packages of programs. Thus, a program category may constitute a single program such as a one-time only virtuoso performance or may be a plurality of programs such as a tennis tournament taking place over several days. In addition, the same programs can be marketed on a minute-by-minute basis with rates selectable by the broadcaster.
