Thanks Klaus - this actually works for that specific transponder :-)  but 
only because it catched Rockantenne by chance.

Unfortunately I want two more and there this solution doesn't work, i.e. 
vdr doesn't scan:

dummyES:11435:hC34:S19.2E:27500:0:235=spa:0:0:10101:0:0:0
dummyFR:12207:hC34:S19.2E:27500:0:1911=fra:0:0:11011:0:0:0

I got the latter one to run with the following settings (of NRJ from my old 
channels.conf):
dummyFR:12207:hC34:S19.2E:27500:0:236:0:0:8536:0:0:0

For dummyES I tried the settings of another channel but that doesn't work :-(
dummyES:11435:hC34:S19.2E:22000:0:260:0:0:29917:0:0:0

Any ideas for this last one?  :-)

Actually, I thought that VDR is also scanning for transponders now - not 
only ones that are somewhere in the channels.conf already. Also, you cannot 
just create a dummy channel - unless it can lock on a channel, vdr doesn't 
seem to mind about scanning.
