I do, often. If someone reports a fault when playing back a recording, or while watching On Demand, I'll ask them "Does it also do it on live TV?". I can't think of a clearer way that would be generally understood.

They won't. Most people don't know or care how their television is delivered as long as it works when they switch it on.

Stream, and the FAST channels, are IPTV already. It doesn't make people think "ooh, I must watch on demand".
