I can confirm the same behaviour. I tried on Astra, 10744000 H, 22000000, FEC Auto, QPSK, Inv AUTO, Rolloff AUTO. I was searching ALL services, Free only unselected, Test decryptability unselected. The first time it found 6 channels. I assume that by pressing back and repeating the procedure it should have found the same channels, but it reported no channels found. This happened repeatedly. Scanning all existing transports with scan for new transports selected worked successfully the first time I tried, but scanning locked up and only CTRL-C exited (I left it with about 15 minutes inactivity).

Subsequent scans using all transports doesn't show any channels. Powering down the pc doesn't work, either. 

The card is a Mantis STB08999 Multistandard DVB-S2, which was working ok 5-6 months ago (yeah, I know). Signal timeout is at 7000, Tuning Timeout 10000, DVB tuning delay at 1950, same as they've always been.
