Card Status of "Please Wait" is normal. It's also normal for the card to go brown. And yes it's safe.
I think your problems probably are caused by heat over a long period, but the damage is to the tuner not the smartcard. It's a very common failure.
In general, don't worry about the boxes getting hot. As long as you aren't blocking the ventilation holes they'll be fine.
