So, from my experience in seeing the "communications hub" of several big name hotel chains, each individual television channel offered in a hotel line-up is controlled separately by its own receiver. There are racks of these cable/satellite boxes set up so that their offerings can be changed based on the standards of service mandated by corporate. These are the same boxes you would find in a residential setup, only there are dozens and dozens of them, instead of just one. The answer to your question is yes, considering the boxes are the same as you'd find in a residence.
