Another data point: with the original channels.conf with its 120 lines,
everything is back to normal. My own channels.conf has more than 1000
lines. The ProSieben entries in both files are exactly the same (VDR
updated them).

If I copy most of my large channels.conf into the original, the problem
reappears. I removed all channels which did not yet have "hC" or "vC" in
field 3, but that didn't change anyting.
