That sounds like there is a problem at the server end.  You can
manually change the repositories.  What do you currently have in your
/etc/apt/sources.list file and in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d
directory files?  You need to change the deb lines that say 0.27 to
0.28.  You probably have a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d called
mythbuntu-0_27-trusty.list which should have something like this in
it:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.27/ubuntu trusty main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.27/ubuntu trusty main

If so, change the 0.27 in both lines to 0.28 and rename the file to
mythbuntu-0_28-trusty.list.  But MCC has had some bugs in how it has
done this in the past, so you need to check the /etc/apt/sources.list
and all the other /etc/apt/sources.list.d files to make sure they do
not have any other MythTV stuff in them that should not be there. Mine
were dreadfully messed up when I came to do the 0.27 to 0.28 upgrade,
so I had to spend some time deleting all the old stuff and fixing
where things were.

Once you have the apt files sorted, you need to do "apt-get update"
and "apt-get upgrade"  (or maybe "apt-get dist-upgrade").
