The blog post page that you refer to lists the "Highlights" of 12.04.3 
as being MythTV version 0.25.  This may lead some to believe that things 
are out of date.   Perhaps a remark under "Highlights" that changing to 
the 0.27 repositories can be done in the Mythbuntu Control Center along 
with a link to the instructions explaining how to do the upgrade might 
make it sound more up to date for the casual reader.  Oddly enough (at 
least for novices), you can't do the upgrade to 0.27 from the MCC (it 
leaves things in an unusable state) you have to use the command line: 
apt-get dist-upgrade.
