Are you sure its not the tv ? is it ok through dvd for example ?

ive tried it on more than 1 tv, whatever i do theres 5 lines on the screen.

ok, i would check all capacitors for bulging leaking first of all, check the scart connections on the board also ,maybe solder joint.

try changeing the settings

dbox / settings / video / format / try autodetect

I'm fairly sure vertical lines are typical of video memory failure.
thats what i remember from the days of crt pc monitors anyway.
And as a dbox is basically a unix box it could be the cause of your problem.
I dont know if the memory is replaceable or not, but if it is, it might be worth a try.
