I've never known a smartcard actually burn, and I've tried pretty hard!
I have seen two STBs power supplies that have burnt out. In both cases the fire was contained within the case (as it's designed to do).

Was fine for 2 days.... then started again.... Can i ask for 2 new stbs? or will i have to continue calling ntl and doing the same useless checks, and having them send a signal each time?

The second time you call they should send someone out. You might need a new box, but it's more likely just to need the signal levels adjusting. Slightly brown smartcards are not going to cause any problem.
Oh, and why not call today?
