The best way is with Xine.  You can do xine dvb://1 where the number 
references the line in channels.conf.

You need a channels.conf in ~/.xine.  You can use scan to create it.

Alternatively you can use tzap to select a channel and in another xterm 
cat /dev/dvb/adaptor0/dvr0 to a file or redirect it to mplayer.  In this 
case the channels.conf needs to be in ~/.tzap. I use symbolic link so 
there's only one channels.conf.
