Always had our STB vertical and it still overheated now and then but not so often. STB's do seem to run warm enough to double up as a nice warming hob for snacks and drinks though.
If it's overheating to point of faillure every 30 mins you really need to look at where it is situated/ ventilated and if there don't seem to be any problems there then you may have to question NTL as whether the STB is functioning properly.
