How do I find "on demand" shows only?

Does anyone know how to search for a programme and get it to list only those that are available on demand?

For example, my daughter loves Doc Mcstuffins. If I run a search for it, dozens of results come up - but only a few are available to download.....the rest are just tv listings for when the programme is coming on during the week. Is there anyway to filter on only those available to download? It's a pain having to go into each individual result to try to find on demand content.

    Disney Junior has its own On Demand content in Catch Up Tv.

    Goto the CatchUp TV or the Box Sets section to search for programmes from specific channels.

    I have been trying to find "Tofu" on 4OD but it doesn't seem to be on the Sky version of the service.

    Back on topic ... The only way is to use the Catch-Up TV options on the Home screen.

    It's an online show. Why would it be on 4OD?

    So in other words....there is no way to run a search specifically for content available "on demand". Which is a shame because I don't always know which channel some of the kids tv programs are on - so using the catch up area becomes a chore, going in and out of channels, etc...

    A filter on search functionality for "show on demand only" shouldn't be that hard, but depends how many people would use it I guess...

    At the moment, it would probably be easiest to search for the show, see which channel it is on, then go to that channels catch-up to see what it there.

    It's not an online show, it's a show commissioned for 4OD, therefore many would expect it to be on 4OD.

    isnt all the on demand stuff always shown at the top of any search list so you know it available on demand ?
