So the DCT6200 supports DOCSIS 1.0/1.1 plus it has an ethernet jack on
the back but I can't get a straight answer out of comcast's outsourced
technical support. The best they can offer me is a link to a list of
mostly out dated cable modems.

Is anyone using their DCT6200 HD receiver for comcast internet?

As far as I've ever seen, NOBODY uses the cable modem part of the DCT.
The same goes for the SmartCard and AV inputs. On the newest 3412 (DVR
version), they were all deleted to save money.

No, but that's not really what it was designed for. The CM in the
reciever is there for Opencable compability. Part of the Opencable spec
(which cablecards are also part of), is that cable boxes will talk back
to the headend over a DOCSIS system (redundant?) instead of the
proprietary systems in place now.

The Ethernet jack is for networking boxes together in a home networking
enviroment. At the SCTE convention this year, Motorola showed off a
home network application running on 62xx boxes that basically pooled
all the recorded content and would allow a viewer to pause on one box,
walk over to another, and pick up where they left off without missing a
beat. They also showed off a STB that only had digital tuner (like the
DCT 700), but could access the HDD on a 6200 box over a coax based
Ethernet connection. Very cool stuff, if they get the bugs worked out!
