Afaik there are only those two frontends for DVB-T FF cards.

Afaics you did everything which could be done.
The frontend was detected. Basically the card should work.
(I assume that there are no tuning-related error messages in the log.)

Next you have to find out whether the card is broken or not.
From your results I guess something is broken, but you can only be sure
if you test it with the windows driver. (There is a small chance that it
is a card variant which is not supported yet.)
