I will mention it as an alternative to xineliboutput. Personally I want to use xineliboutput because I'm building a PC that drives my TV via HDMI, but dummydevice-plugin is indeed useful if you are building a headless server. Having said that, debian does not have vdr-dummydevice nor dynamite in their repositories yet, If I figure out how, I will suggest it.
