Yes, it's the standard Vevo app

What's the selection of music like compared to music on Demand?
|
For TiVo customers it's significantly more artists and videos available than via the previous On Demand service.

Has the VM music on Demand service now closed completely?
|
For TV XL customers with a V box, there is still a inclusive option of music videos using the compatible On Demand system. For any V box on another tier, which previously had a 'pay by track' option, this is no longer available.

Even by VM's standards they've poorly implemented this, it just looks very unprofessional.
The EPG position for the AKA/Clubland/Chilled/Now app is actually titled ClubldAKA and has some weird made up logo using the C from Clubland and AKA next to it, so looks ridiculous.

It's actually 'ClublndAKA' which I'd guess is the maximum character limit for a channel name that works across both TiVo and the V boxes. I'd also expect that both the channel name and logo will have been approved by Clubland AKA themselves before it was added.

Press Red on channel 300 and it very slowly loads a menu screen with links to the Vevo app and the AKA, Clubland, Chilled and Now Music streams with an image slideshow on the right which loads in chunks like the days of dial up internet, the streams are hardly on demand content anyway.

Channel 300 on a TV XL V box takes you to the available music on demand service which is why I'd expect why it's still called 'Music On Demand'
On TiVo Channel 300 is an entry route to the apps, it's designed to highlight the different music options available, it's not specific to On Demand.

Vevo app is, like most of VM's other apps, so very slow and clunky, you can't even use the letter buttons on your remote to search.

The app for Vevo on TiVo is their standard app created by Vevo, and functions in exactly the same way as it does on any other platform. I'm not aware of any Vevo app supporting letter buttons on a remote.
