The way I have my setup, there is a dedicated Set-top box connected to
the tv, and I watch on-demand the old fashion way (as well as live
tv).  I am not sure if there is a way to control on-demand via myth,
of if there is, it is not an out-of-box solution (would involve
creating scripts to control the STB from myth via serial control or
ir-blaster, not a very satisfying solution).  I certainly don't know
of a way to progam on-demand schedules and so forth.
