It's not the receiver (well not as far as the main board). The CI slot design - usually twin CI receivers - has rarely followed the original specifications for PCMCIA connection. As a result some modern modules can exceed the demands of certain receivers and the current draw can affect the performance of other parts of the machine, (in your case, the picture).
Try the CAM on a channel on another polarity, or other frequency band. If the problem goes away, then you know it is down to the CAM drawing the power supply rails down and needs to be looked at to prevent damage.
I have also found that swopping the CI port may help, but also some CAMs from a batch work fine when others don't, so it could be a quality issue from the supplier.
