Hm, maybe a tuning or DiSEqC problem.
Apparently some cards have problems with some DiSEqC switches.
Turn off DiSEqc and check whether it works...

Are only the channels from the Pro7/SAT.1 transponder missing?
-> This sounds like the good old DECT phone problem...

Is only vertical polarization affected?
-> Maybe a DiSEqC incompatibilty.

Some other things you could try:
Swap the SAT cables.
Remove the 1.3 card. Does the scan problem disappear?
