I turned off my joey last night around 11pm and I went to work and came home around 6 pm. The thing still feels hot. I understand they don't have fans in them, but should it still be hot after 19 hours of non-usage? I'm kind of regretting not going for super joeys as that would have increased the tuners as well for s negligible monthly increase.
 
People have reported good results standing the Joey on its side for better heat dissipation.

They do run hot and it's important to make sure they have room. Don't place it next to something else that also gives off heat. I had my router set on top of it when I installed it and forgot to move it. It didn't take long before it shut down due to it overheating.
