The big problem is that I don't want to pay for a month of content to watch one or two shows. And I definitely don't want to pay a month's worth of content to three dozen providers of which i may only watch a few of their programs a couple of times a month. Now if you reduced that to, say, a day pass I might bite, especially if there was no more friction than the usual channel surfing.
In the midst of Netflix + my linear pay-TV service, we actually rent movies, on-demand, from the linear pay-TV service, which cost over & above what you pay them monthly already. Fair point, it's US$2 - US$4 per movie, but that's movies that are still reasonably new (3 - 4 months off the cinema circuit) that would only make it to mainstream TV or VoD 12 - 18 months later. And we do that only twice a month, on average. Mark.
