Hi,<br>
<br>
I have just installed MythTV on a fresh install of Debian Wheezy, I
seem to have a few problems and I'm not sure which are cause and
which are effect.<br>
<br>
When I run the frontend setup I cannot see any tuners and it
completes with a message that the backend is not running<br>
<br>
I have tried to install drivers from TBS, downloaded unpacked etc
but when I run make I get - <br>
<blockquote>root@dmyth:~/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers# make<br>

When I run the backend I get errors - <br>

Is the basic problem that the drivers aren't loaded or that the
backend isn't running? Either way any ideas how I can fix it?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
