Since I did the instructions you referred to, I looked into my fresh 
install to see what I had. Since I started with a fresh install, there 
was no mention of 0.27 anywhere and my sources.list.d had the following 
files:

mythbuntu-ubuntu-0_28-xenial.list
mythbuntu-ubuntu-0_28-xenial.list.save
mythbuntu-ubuntu-testing-xenial.list
mythbuntu-ubuntu-testing-xenial.list.save
stebbins-ubuntu-handbrake-releases-xenial.list

Since I added Handbrake it's there as well.
