Then it's quite safe and dust proof arrangements. 
Always better to use cloth[used to wash Cars] for covering the STB/FTA Box. This cloth doesnt block Heat which is genarated inside the STB to get ventilated. Small holes r not enough to get ventilations.
Installing cooling fan will cost the STB more.yes, not a good idea to cover the boxes.. also companies must consider installing a small cooling fan same thing like some Blueray players to reduce heating issues..
somewhere i read even if boxes are in standy, the electricity consumption is marginally reduced, so it's better to switch off the stbs when you are not using to avoid high bill.@IM Broo
My All Three Boxes always remain in standby mode and only one box at a time.
Can u please tell me how much these three DTHs take electricity in standby and active mode also.
