Time to check out the ETSI docs. See ETSI EN 300 468 chapter 3 "Definitions
an abbreviations":

| multiplex: stream of all the digital data carrying one or more services
| within a single physical channel

| service: sequence of programmes under the control of a broadcaster which
| can be broadcast as part of a schedule

Also see Figure 1, which shows the hierarchy:

Networks -> Multiplexes -> Services -> Components

So "multiplex" and "service" are the DVB/ETSI defined terms.
