They could have a digital filter to try to avoid interference from those content
as you arent a digital cable subscriber they might not have removed
it. When I subscribed to analog cable and roadrunner, they put in a
tap to remove the digital content to the analog line, and ran a
special drop. While the cablemodem would work on other drops in the
house it was far less effienient to run it on the other ones
