The only problem is how to get the TS into the CAM and at a reasonable speed, preferably realtime. Although you can talk to the CAM via the PCMCIA interface and implement the CI layers, you just don't have the correct pin assignment for the TS io. You'll have to somehow trick your PCMCIA controller into transmitting the encrypted and receiving the unencrypted TS data.
