   - Hit Enter on 'Channel Editor'
   - Check in here that you have all the channels, otherwise you might have to look at upgrading your cabling, antenna or boosters to improve signal strength.
+To test your tuner open up a Terminal by going through the menu system 'Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal' and type: 'sudo mythbackend'.
+Now start the frontend by 'Applications -> Multimedia -> Mythtv Frontend'
+==== Using a computer screen as your TV ====
+If you use a computer screen instead of a TV screen, like me, then you will need to turn off interlacing:
+In the mythfrontend
+  - Go to 'Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> TV Settings -> Playback'
+  - Enable 'Deinterlace playback'
+  - Click Next until the end.
