DOCSIS has a possibility to provision unidirectional data flows with certain quality of service characteristics. A pair of these is usually dedicated to a casual Internet connection, another one can be used for layer 2 telephony service, etc. Allocating a whole TV channel frequency would be a big waste. Not even sure it would be possible with standard DOCSIS. Marcin Cieślak
