[vdr] "video data stream broken" running vdr without connection to LNB

[Michael Nausch <michael@nausch.org>]

Griaseichallemidananda!

English isn't my foreign language, so I try to do my best! :-)

This days I'm working on my first vdr-box. My SAT-antenna isn't installed jet, 
so I tried to use VDR as an DVD player first. I hope I can do this ...

After starting runvdr, vdr crashes down every few minutes. In 
/var/log/messages are written those lines:

The line "vdr[1290]: ERROR: video data stream broken on device 1" appears, 
'cause the TT-DVB-S card has no connection to the antenna. Isn't it so? 

Is it possible to run VDR without the connection to the antenna?

Every hint is welcome!
