I use to have comcast HD box on my Mitsubishi DLP WD-65xxxx (I don't know the model type off hand, but it is a 65") and when I cancelled the service and took it off, now it doesn't recognize a regular input of the cable or a regular TV antenna. I have removed every input. Reset the TV and unplugged it and tried it again. Still not receiving input for cable or analog. How do I reset it or is the antenna port bad?
NTSC or ATSC ?

How old is your Mitsubishi DLP set? If it is an older set it's internal tuners may be NTSC (analog) only and you likely do not have any NTSC broadcasts in your area.
You would require an STB (Set Top Box) digital (ATSC) tuner connected to your antenna and to your TV to receive the OTA ATSC broadcasts if your TV tuners are NTSC.
If your TV has an ATSC tuner, do you have an antenna attached to your ant-1 or ant-2?
Without an antenna you will likely not receive any OTA (over the air) signal (NTSC or ATSC).

While any WD model is going to provide OTA DTV tuning the model number would help with determining other features...
lhbaumann has you covered if you no longer have cable.
Yet it is unclear if you simply removed the box or shutdown the service altogether; you did state that you tried connecting the cable directly to the TV. What you may be dealing with is a change in how Comcast delivers their cable signal now. Here in Atlanta they shutdown the analog service and now only provide digital QAM cable; your TV may not be able to receive that, many can't and will require an SD cable box. If this is the case Comcast should have told you that.
