You're right about that. If no channels are found it should then give you the option to check your aerial and re-scan, or to perfom manual tuning. If it's locking on and storing channels these should appear on the EPG, and even if a channel is not broadcasting it would show on the screen as "no service" when that channel is selected. I'm wondering if the set needs the software re-loading.

I had a problem a couple of years back where my Pan TV would get stuck on Freeview BBC1 and refuse to select another channel, although it would go onto analogue without any bother. Set was under guarantee and a TV tech came and reloaded the software. No problems since.
