I can confirm that one. If you look in the backend logs, you will notice
that the CAM is giving some messages. Apparently the backend is not
handling those messages too well. When the CAM cannot decrypt, the
backend should give a message to frontend, and gracefully be ready to
change channel. It should not keep trying to decrypt, as that will
certainly fail.
