On Demand is included in my Cable Package, some of the shows they update fairly quick, some not at all, I had Netflix many years ago, I had gotten it as a free trial, but didnt really use it

So I would say On Demand as I already pay for it I guess

I don't really use either. 

On Demand is nice for those moments when someone accidentally deletes the show you just recorded. 

Netflix is nice for watching a show that's been out forever but you haven't seen.  I watched most of NCIS through my sisters Netflix after forgetting about the show for years.

I don't have a Netflix account, or I might use it more.  It's nice to just have a show that you know running in the background while I do daily chores.

We have both On Demand & Netflix.

OnDemand is good for current shows & movies.  Sometimes my cable pixelates the OnDemand - ever since time warner switched to spectrum.

The best reason to have ondemand is I can get it through cable & it doesn't rely on my internet.

I'm on a mission to phase out my cable, but I have a bundle with internet & home phone... hopefully by the end of the year I can get my family mind set on cutting the cord.

I use both and since we moved to an area where there are lots of hills and the antenna won't work, we rely on Cable again. However, since we share a house with our son and his family, we split the cost.

Netflix.  Everyone in the house uses it daily.  We love it.

I prefer netflix. We finally got rid of cable a few months ago and use our firestick and roku player to stream. Besides netflix we also use Sling TV and I have downloaded some free apps to keep up with shows that are currently on that I watch.

I have Netflix but rarely use it.  I use my firestick and load shows through Kodi.  We get to watch a lot of the old, old shows especially Westerns.
Have a wonderful day!

I don't know about Netflix and I don't watch that much movies, but I love my on Demand because I can go back and watch my TV shows I missed.

We tested On Demand and weren't impressed. But we already have Netflix and Hulu and are mostly looking for older shows anyway so those are plenty for us.

I had on demand years ago and I enjoyed it. I currently have Netflix and I like it. I like that you can watch older shows, Netflix original shows or movies and more.
