Gary is correct.  You can go directly from 0.25 to 0.27.
Always a good idea to backup everything first.  Then stop the frontend.  
It's probably best to stop the backend too, although the upgrades 
scripts seem to do that for you if you didn't.

If you originally installed from a Mythbuntu iso then you can use 
Mythbuntu-Control-Centre to select the 0.27 repository.  If, when you 
then go to the "update manager" and select "install", it offers you a 
"partial upgrade" or informs you that "packages are being held back", 
you should decline and cancel out of the "update manager" and open up a 
"terminal" session.

At the command line do:
sudo apt-get update
and then do a simulation of the upgrade with:
sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade
If everything looks ok from the simulation, go ahead and do the upgrade 
for real with:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
after the upgrade is done start "mythtv backend setup" first.  This will 
update the database schema.
When that's finished, start the frontend and it will update itself, and 
that should do it.

Some of the above procedure is outlined at the second to the last bullet 
near the bottom of:
http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos

There is no need to add timezone support to mysql, as the Mythbuntu 
upgrade scripts take care of that too.  In my case it was all quite 
painless.
