Hi,

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.

When I run the frontend setup I cannot see any tuners and it completes 
with a message that the backend is not running

I have tried to install drivers from TBS, downloaded unpacked etc but 
when I run make I get -

    root at dmyth:~/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers# make
    make -C /root/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l
    make[1]: Entering directory `/root/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l'
    Updating/Creating .config

    File not found: /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/build/.config at
    ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 33, <IN> line 4.
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.myconfig', needed by
    `config-compat.h'.  Stop.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l'
    make: *** [all] Error 2
    root at dmyth:~/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers#

When I run the backend I get errors -

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?

Thanks
Mick
