I seriously doubt that being that this would require much more
bandwidth (unless this ondemand could be shared by more than one set
top box) and be a lot more complicated. Its a lot easier for them to
send the exact same feed to all users and regulate what channels each
user gets (through encryption) by requiring every user to have a set
top box.
