Your femon output shows that the frontend is happy, so
dvb_bend_frequency() is not the issue.
But if the error_indicator is set in lots of packages the signal
can't be good. Please run femon again while you are recording
and check that there are no drop outs. Also check that the
frontend driver is reporting the uncorrected blocks value correctly.
