Not unless you are using an output plugin that does it, such as softdevice (http://softdevice.berlios.de/). If I were you, I'd try the XV output of softdevice.
(My VDR box runs a budget DVB-T card and softdevice on DirectFB.)
2nd I'm trying to run vdr but nothing happens after I use the command. I have the channels.conf I got from szap -o vdr blalblab but it doesn't work the logs have this:
[...]

It looks like your DVB tuner lacks video output, i.e., it is not a full-featured card. Use softdevice or some other output plugin.
