My STBs remain in operate mode 24/7. Never power off or place in standby mode. Think most STBs can run constantly without issues.
Are you having problems with a receiver being left on 24/7? Losing lip sync? Loss of signal? Is there something specific that you are needing?

I run Azbox Premium Plus HD, Azbox miniMe, Pansat 9200HD, X2 premium mini HD, all at one time or another for 24/7 without issues. It does not hurt them to run continually, as long as they are allowed ventilation. I would not stack books on them, or put them in a box....
Two of mine are on 24/7, a MicroHD that we use for regular daily use and then another feeding a modulator.
I use to have a couple receivers on 24/7 because (as someone else noted) it was used to backfeed a signal through the house
Same here with my Amiko Nano and two S9's. Only time off is power outages or if I am working on DiSEqC switches.
Now that I think about it, most receivers like my Dish receiver is never really off.
I have a Scientific Atlanta DVB Powervu receiver that came with one of my Prodelin dishes that I bet was powered on for 10 years before I got it. It still works for a really basic DVB-S receiver.

As far as running 24/7, don't think you will go wrong with any STB that is on the market. Now it comes down to which receiver has the features that you want.
