The only things guaranteed bandwidth are linear tv streams and VoD streams. I do note the use of 'cable video plant' mentioned quite specifically there.

I guess they could, maybe, be using the QoS they have set up to police the traffic shaping to prioritise TiVo traffic, there's certainly nothing in the configuration files the boxes are pulling that proritises them and definitely nothing in the upstream direction this would require a different service flow type.

Obviously that's where the segregation ends, the TiVo's register on the same CMTS as every other set top, and every cable modem not on the overlay network.
