Are you referring to the little digital adapter box they provided when they upgraded to all-digital service? If so, and you cut off power to it when you are away, it probably needs to re-establish connection to Comcast. That could take a while, resulting in a No Signal message from the TV. In addition, cutting off all power to the TV probably requires it to re-scan for channels, just as if you had bought it that day. I have a TV that we rarely use, so I disconnect power from it between uses. When I plug it in, it takes about 3-4 minutes to go through diagnostics and power up.
