You can check if your have vdr support installed in your xine library
with: 

ls $(xine-config --plugindir)/*vdr*

you must have an output "xineplug_inp_xvdr.so" then, you can play using
xine cmd line:

xine xvdr://127.0.0.1:37890

for better access, I suggest you install "xineliboutput-sxfe"
(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man1/vdr-sxfe.1.html)

and try:

vdr-sxfe xvdr://127.0.0.1:37890
