You must not use the diff file from unstable but instead the existing
diff from wheezy-backports.

Here is how to backport the latest tarball from unstable :

,----
| tar xzf mythtv-dmo_0.27.5+fixes20151104.orig.tar.gz
| cd mythtv-0.27.5+fixes20151104
| zcat ../mythtv-dmo_0.27.5-dmo1+bp1.diff.gz|patch -p1
| dch -v 0.27.5+fixes20151104-dmo1+bp1
`----

The source is now ready to build packages.
