Just to make sure..the CAM card does seat correctly and snugly and is clean at the contacts. Sounds like there is something loose at this connector if you have tried another card.

Has it ever worked properly?

Answer

So the same Cam and card misbehaves on another TV?
That is pretty conclusive..there is a problem with the CAM. Does the presence of a CAM without a card also cause problems?

Accepted Answer

This is a strange fault. The card is causing the CAM to mess up the TV! Can you try the card in someone elses CAM and TV to confirm this? I am sure Setanta are not going to believe this!
I think I cannot do anything more.
Please leave me some feedback.
