Not with VDR, it has the concept, that at least one "output" device must be available. You can reach that goal with software-implementations like xine/softdevice, but this is absolutly needed for running VDR.
The idea of using VDR was I thought could schedule and record from an ssh connection, without needing X ?
I don't know the softdevice/xine solution (if these are working w/o X), but the easiest way to control vdr remote is vdradmin, which gives you lean and clean HTML-interface to VDR.
