Diana Stones, 20, turns the key prior to selecting the desired channel on a TV set equipped with the new Marconi PayVision system in a London demonstration. The unit, a small box no larger than the average book, plugs into the aerial socket of any standard TV set and push-buttons select various PayVision channels. It costs only 5 to instal and average cost of programmes is 2/6d, with some public service and educational prgrammes free of charge. A central billing exchange automatically registers all programmes viewed. PayVision uses a closed circuit distribution system to bring three new TV channels into the home. The unit can be used with existing sets and does not affect present programme reception.
