I have Twinhan 1041 that use the same driver so I could check the problem...

You can also start the entry in INI file with "S2" to scan only in DVB-S2 or
"S1" to scan in DVB-S only mode.

There seems to be a problem in the driver with AUTO modulation setting. Some
drivers do not allow it at all.
2 options:

Explicitly specify the modulation, such as:
S2 11362000 H 22000000 2/3 AUTO 8PSK

Or add the following case into switch in dtv_property_adv_params_sync
function in dvb_frontend.c file of the drivers:
case QAM_AUTO:

Just in case, the function will start with:

void dtv_property_adv_params_sync(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
{
    struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &fe->dtv_property_cache;
    struct dvb_frontend_private *fepriv = fe->frontend_priv;
    struct dvb_frontend_parameters *p = &fepriv->parameters;

    p->frequency = c->frequency;
    p->inversion = c->inversion;

    switch(c->modulation) {
    case PSK_8:
    case APSK_16:
    case APSK_32:
    case QPSK:
*    case QAM_AUTO:
*        p->u.qpsk.symbol_rate = c->symbol_rate;
        p->u.qpsk.fec_inner = c->fec_inner;
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }

This will solve the problem. I'll send an email to Igor about that.
