cat record > /dev/video

[Schuett Thomas <Thomas.Schuett@icn.siemens.de>]

Hello,

I wonder, if "cat record.dat > /dev/video" does work also, when you
do not have a screen on the DVB card video out, but when
you want to get the movie on the PC screen. 

How does it work (if it does) ? Without gVideo you should need some 
extra SW (?), and with gVideo the device should be blocked ?

Similar question for VDR. Does it work only with a screen on the 
DVB card video out ?
