If I create a new transponder it appears in the list but all fields are empty, I've deleted the empty transponder in case it causes some issue.

It's only a problem because there are a lot of changes at 28E (ITV HD for example) over the last few months and I like to re-scan the transponders to see what I can get, a full scan takes hours so I prefer to just scan the transponder that's just changed or manually add just the new transponder, using the tuned scan triggers a full scan since 0.23 I found.

So it's not just me, that's good news.

Was it on a DVBS2 capable connected source or something else?

I've used that but that triggers a complete (2hr) scan again and at 28E there are a couple of bad transponders in the tables 99999999Khz is not a sensible frequency for a transponder, this slows things down a little too.

I solved the problem (for today) with a tuned scan starting at the new transponder frequency but would like to know if I have a subtle database corruption or if it's a bug.
