first off try removing power for a few minutes
if that doesn't work then do a system reset and rescan for channels
if that doesn't work try reflashing your box, to be on the safe side use the clonesafe version as this is ok for genuine and clone boxes

tried that and still does same thing any other ideas

Maybe the box is getting too hot? Remove the top cover and try using it, if it works then you know that overheating is the issue.
