In response to everyone that replied. 
I used a hybrid of what I had been doing and ChatGPTs advice and successfully compiled the TBS drivers for kernel 6.8.0-84-generic.

However when ran up MythTV Frontend it told me my schema was one level out and worse it kept restarting every time I closed it. I only want to use it with my remote backend. Both server and client are using MythTV version 35! This problem will be ongoing for a while.

I have my grub boot menu set to come up every boot (thank goodness). It goes straight into Advanced <something or other> with all the kernels listed. It highlights "84" which is fine but when I select it as often as not it will drop into the grub terminal which I have never found of much use.
If I just select the first option, the default kernel it goes into "87". I will sort that problem out first.

Several reboots later I will get into 6.8.0-84-generic. Trying earlier kernels I get either only one screen (of two) or no network access). 

It reminds me of my Windows days.  :(
