With a on-demand only set-up, there can be no EPG.
When I tried to use on-demand yesterday as a test, the number of different hoops I had to jump through were quite ridiculous. That's before getting into the absence of other functionality that is present in any video playing app. In the time it takes to start watching an on-demand programme, I might well have finished watched the recorded version. Just crazy.
Sky Stream is due to make a change where you can flag programmes as ones to be recorded. The recordings are kept by Sky. Helps keeping a list of programmes yet to be watched, rather than having to keep detailed records somewhere.
You need to do a sign in once to view your on-demand or catch-up.

As for Sky's recordings: these are not personal cloud recordings as everyone just watches whatever cloud copies Sky makes. This is really catch-up in disguise. And Sky cannot record everything due to rights issues, e.g. BBC and ITV force you to use their apps.
