I measured the amplitude of the 22kHz tone at the output of the card (650mV top-top) and at the output of the receiver (1.6 V top-top). So I conclude that the  signal is too weak for the given length.

If you don`t need diseqc, you might consider trying something like  http://www.linuxdvb.tv/documentation/22khz/
