Can you run the command again and copy and paste the output. It's
impossible (actually impossible, not hyperbole) to get the error message
you said you got when running the command you said you ran. The command to
add the 0.28 repository would be

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.28

Where you said you ran
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythubuntu/0.28

Which is slightly different.
