Does VDR require a "full-featured" card, specifically with a TI AV7110 set-top-box decoder on it? If so, this card will not work for you as it is a "budget" class card, i.e. it only has a receiver frontend and a capture chip to transport the "raw" MPEG-2 transport stream into system memory.
True, vdr needs some decoder / TV out to display the OSD. A dxr3 would do for decoding - they're on ebay for around 40 EUR these days.

Other than that you could use a full featured DVB-s / DVB-c with an av711x without a signal to it and feed data in vdr's transfer-mode. There's currently work going on to fix problems with decoding on a signal-less card. At least the DVB-s Nexus rev 2.1 appears stable without a signal and current drivers.
