Unplug the power source from the cable box AT THE BOX (not the wall outlet). Wait 90 seconds and plug it back in. The channels should start to come back within about 5 minutes. If they don't, you may need a box reset/signal refresh - call your local Comcast office and they can do that over the phone.
