Blue box stays on every channel after watching SportsMix (channel 205) - please help

I have a blue box stuck on every channel for the past 5 days and it won't go away.  I was watching the US Open golf on the SportsMix channel which highlights one of four channels showing at once.  

 

The blue box highlight now shows no matter what channel I am on and is obviously ruining my TV viewing experience.  I attached a couple pictures of my screen on various channels.

 

Has anyone seen this?  I have restarted the Genie box per the Menu instructions a few times but the box remains.

Please help!

I have not seen or heard of this happening but I can offer a few ideas. Sounds like you have reset the genie box - was this the mini or the main genie that was reset? 
Have you tried another input (ie Roku, Netflix, Amazon Prime, OTA antenna)? Does it still occur? 


Try resetting everything - unplug  the TV, the Main Genie and mini(if needed) then plug in and restart in order - TV,  then the main Genie, the mini if needed. 

I am not sure if this will work but it is what I would try.
