I don't know what problems you have with your CAM. I have a 4.6SE
together with my PW subscription card and it works almost fine. 
Sure there are sometimes problems with channel decoding when I switch to
it every several weeks, but that's all. I always assumed it has
something to do with transfer mode. I do PW recordings and viewing
several times a week. In the last few months I had never a recording
that failed.

May be you have this heat/oscilator CAM problem that was reported long
time ago. The fix was to add a resistor. My CAM always worked fine.
