...but it needs an output device (Nova).
You should build softdevice with the DFB or FB output and build a 
"virtual frame-buffer" in the kernel. That is the VDR's equivalent of 
/dev/null... Or use a real frame-buffer device (dependant on your video 
card).
There might be better solutions : streamdev for instance (output to a 
distant Windows/Linux box), or vdr-xine with an aalib client (output the 
video as ascii art on the console : what fun !), or (fill in the blank).
Just ask yourself what exactly you want with this server...
