My original question was just to confirm if it's normal to have to press the power button on the STB itself when turning on the TV after a power blip.
And the answer, in my experience, is no. The remote does not go through the STB to reach the TV and so there should be no need to turn it on at the box. You might find the TV and the STB are out of sequence, i.e, one goes on when the other goes off, but you can handle that on the remote using the seperate tv power button.
