DOCSIS uses the normal MPEG-2 TS. If you want to, you can mix DVB-C and 
DOCSIS into the same TS. In practice this never happens, as it is a 
costly usage of CMTS resources, and no CMTS supports it.

If you want a peek at the DOCSIS standards, hop over to 
http://www.cablemodem.com/ where you will find all relevant specs. For 
this you want the RF spec.
