purview, per view

Purview or purview ( one word ) means scope of authority, responsibility, oe expertise--
This seems to fall within the purview of the code enforcement bureau.
Inspecting ships for safety violations is outside of his purview.

Per view or per view ( two words ) means each instance of watching, or each time a video is played--
They are watching the game on pay per view.
The pay per view service seems expensive, but you only pay for what you watch.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The cable guy said that the quality of pay per view programs is outside of his purview."
