Keep in mind there are two types of On Demand when using a TiVo box. One comes via a tuner as per the non TiVo boxes the others make use an internet connection. The legacy TiVos had their own moden and 10Mb pipe for this and it's used by Netflix and iPlayer and the like. Most of the other on Demand content comes via a tuner.
So I guess a simple version of your question is "Will I be able to use iPlayer without a VM connection with a V6?" I'd be shocked if this wasn't possible....it should just be looking for a connection to your router (wifi or ethernet) and it'll go from there. The tuner based On Demand will come through the cable plugged into the TiVo.
