In some (most?) cases, heat does affect your NTL services. The green boxes that serve you your services aren't always ventilated and the temperature inside builds up and affects the equiptment.

I await someone who actually knows what they are talking about to come along and agree or tell me to shut up, but you're far from the first person to complain about this issue, I know that much...

Locally, the problem is much less likely, although I have had a STB that NTL/I suspect fried in my wooden cabinet, but thankfully, they gave me the benefit of the doubt (I hadn't followed their guidlines due to ventilation, however, the neither did the installer)...
