I have the same card since 6 weeks and it works in "non HD-TV-mode" on
opensuse 11.0. The driver is: Driver used:
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin. From what you wrote I
think the card is working. But try to scan in this way:

scan-s2 -a 1 -s 0 -x 0 -t 1 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E >
~/.szap/channels1.conf

This worked for me. -a 1 is the my second TV-card, you should use 0, -s
0 is OK, -x 0 finds only free-to-air-channels, t -1 finds only TV. You
output in dmesg is OK, shows that the card is working.
