I'm probably not completely accurate here, but I believe the reason it needs a tuner is that the On Demand system creates an temporary channel for the box to tune to so that you can watch the program.

This doesn't apply for the app based VoD on TiVo where the feed comes from the broadband connection (the same as your Smart TV)
