You are using the no-vt* options in your directfbrc. A good way to avoid
any interruptions from text written you should redirect stdout and stderr
to a log file vdr_call >vdr_log 2>&1.
For hiding cursor etc.. I once suggested the following which may be
useful for vidix users too:
-- snip --
# setup logfile name
LOGFILE=/var/log/my_vdr_logfile
#
# save prompt mode, hide prompt and switch cursor off
PSSAVE=${PS1}
export PS1=''
setterm -cursor off
#
# deactivate powersaving mode and clear screen
setterm -powersave off
clear
#
# start vdr
vdr WITH_DESIRED_PARAMETERS >${LOGFILE} 2>&1
# restore settings
export PS1=${PSSAVE}
setterm -default
