Yes, it is an option on the vdr command line at startup.
You can define a variable in your runvdr script as follow:

FILE_FOR_EPG=/VDRConf/epg.data

and then call the following:

VDRCMD="$VDRPRG -d -E $FILE_FOR_EPG -w 0 -s $VDR_FLD/vdrshutdown -c 
/VDRConf *$"

Other options are not guarantee to be very smart but the tip for the EPG 
is working [my vdr is stopping to run and I don't understand why...need 
to have a new read of the man I think ;) )

Hope this helps.
