that's debateable as it's classed as VOD here:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Video_on_Demand
"...VOD systems either "stream" content, allowing viewing while the video is being downloaded, or "download" it in which the program is brought in its entirety to a set-top box before viewing starts..."

for the customer the technical aspect of whether it's streamed or predownloaded is irrelevant. how it functions when they access the program guide/VOD library is the only concern.
