    Power off at wall. Power on at wall, check to see has the problem gone away. RAM corruption is probably the most common cause of that fault.

    Tried that, It hasn't improved.
    What happens with ram corruption? Is my box dead?

    no, the RAM in the box gets corrupted in use, its cleared entirely at a power off.

    Next most common problem is a dish misalignment, or a failed LNB, or damaged cable. Or the tuner in the box going.

    What make and model of Digibox is it? Make is on front, model is on the sticker on the side or back or base. Some have known picture faults caused by specific failing hardware.
