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.
