Movie description overlay stuck on screen!

[#1]

I have no idea how my grandparents keep doing this but they keep calling me to “fix” the description for the movie “Waves” is overlayed in the upper left corner, the screen is gray but you can still see the channel playing. It stays on no matter what channel, in the guide, in on demand, every menus option ever ! 

I can only fix it by unplugging the box and resetting it but what is even causing this?! 

[#2]

Mine reset when I went into settings and just clicked save settings. I don't know the cause but they should save a restart, which is painfully slow. 

I should note that it was a grandparent for me also.

My mother (almost 80) showed my this EXACT thing today - what is Waves to begin with?

I am going to try to reboot her device, but I too want to know how this is happening to older people only???

Ouch.  I am 50 and just happened to me. I am not old! I unplugged it to fix it.😭😂

How do you reboot screen? Do you unplug router or box?

Try: menu>customer support >Top support tools >Reboot set top box. If that doesnt work, you'll have to unplug the power to the box for 2 minutes,  then plug back in.
