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.
