mgcamd works also fine for me for updating the blue card in NewCS.
Curious me wanted to know why entitlement updates from mgcamd are ok, but from CCcam are not, so I had a closer look at newcs's logs. When mcgamd forwards an EMM to newcs, it adds a 7 byte header, which newcs will strip and send the remainder to the card. With CCcam, it's a different story: only 4 bytes header (card address is missing), and the EMM to the card gets totally garbled and has a wrong length. These EMMs get usually rejected, because EMMs are signature protected. Even worse: EMM processing by the card takes eccessively long (sometimes more than one second, compared to about 100 millesecs on correct EMMs) and in one instance, a malformed EMM caused the card to lock up: I had to remove and reinsert the card and restart newcs - reader reset wouln't do the trick. I guess this could have also easily fried the card if I had been less lucky. Also a good thing I tested this on a FTV card rather than my regular subscription card.
So I would advise if you are running CCcam as a client to newcs to make sure to have EMM forwarding to newcs disabled.
