Maybe you can. I am using LIRC with my Rogers STB in Canada and Rogers actually licenses the Comcast Xfinity system here. My boxes are both Comcast devices. I have XiOne but the Xi6 also works here. Both boxes do have both RF and IR active simultaneously.
I use one box in my media room I use for watching TV directly or with NextPVR, it gives me a backup recording device since I don't watch TV there all the time. I tune remotely with LIRC on an RPi and a network HDMI capture device. In fact the XiOne, is controlled by two IR transmitters, one from the RPi and one from my Harmony Hub. I can even connect to it from my test server so I don't have to do all my testing in production.
Rogers hasn't turned on web browser tuning yet that might be interesting. Turns out these device do have internal IP tuning I just haven't found out how to control it but there is a Control4 app for Comcast tuning that works too.. Unfortunately I joined the Comcast developer program and couldn't find anything on how to access IP tuning, that would be ideal.
