You log shows me 2 things:
- you seem to have a very low antenna energy (or there is something
  wrong with my LNA handler. I don't have such a card, so i can't test)
- You should download the firmware from Lifeview. It is more recent (2.9)
  and locks better on bad signals.
In my personal repository http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hhackmann/v4l-dvb
there is a bug fix which might affect your card as well. I originally
considered it minor but this seems not to be the case.

Can you please check this before we continue?

Hartmut
