If they are defunct, what is now the best way to Myth for Ubuntu without
compiling from source?
If they are not defunct, does anyone know where I can find up to date
information on their releases?
Cheers

Where were you looking that you think we haven't updated the site in
18 months? Our last blog post is from Sept 6th, 2013 (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythbuntu.org/home/news">http://www.mythbuntu.org/home/news</a> ).
We release a new major release every 2 years (with the Ubuntu LTS
release) and offer updates for it through our MythTV repo. We also do
point releases (our last release was 12.04.3 in September). Our next
release will be 14.04 in April 2014.
I thought I had covered everything, but if it truly looks like we're
not updating something I'd like the opportunity to fix it.
Thanks,
Thomas Mashos

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that things are out of date.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.<br>
