Just found out that I should not use '-r' option for tzap before launching
"mplayer dvb://" (If 'tzap -r' were used, then 'mplayer /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0',
instead of 'mplayer dvb://', should be the proper syntax for the mplayer command
line.)

Or use the following pair of command lines:

$ tzap -F -c .tzap/channels.conf CTS
$ mplayer dvb://CTS
