Completely different technologies, with nowhere near the bandwidth available to operate anything other a few analogue channels and radio channels. Also not a hope in hell of the return path thats needed for the PPV, interactive or modem services.

When Leicester Cable took over responsibility for providing the off airs to the hundreds of council flats on the Metro system we had to build new systems in them all.
Caused a few problems in parts of the city when Metro wanted to pull the plug before we had even got to them.
