I don't think OnDemand will take over from broadcast TV until all the content that is currently broadcast on TV is made available OnDemand. Not only that but they'd have to make navigating content - ie FF/REW - more responsive.
Also, on demand content needs storage, meaning stuff can only remain available for a limited period of time due to turnover. Record a series to your TiVo and you can watch it at your leisure. I agree, I think we're a long way off on demand being anything other than a companion to "normal" TV.
