Without knowing what your current version of Xubuntu and mythtv is, it 
is difficult to be explicit in an answer, so the following is general.

I presume you did an in-place Xubuntu upgrade, what is your current 
version of Xubuntu (lsb_release -a command in a terminal session), also 
what was the previous version of Xubuntu?

The following command in a terminal session will tell you about 
mythbuntu-control-centre
  apt-cache policy mythbuntu-control-centre

If it is available, just install it (sudo apt-get install 
mythbuntu-control-centre)

You could change the Repositories settings using Synaptic, or just add 
the appropriate mythtv ppa using information from 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_on_Ubuntu
e.g. for mythtv 0.28

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.28
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


Note if your version of mythtv is 0.27 you will need to upgrade to 
atleast 0.28, or even 29 (just released).  note for mythtv 29 use 
ppa:mythbuntu/0.29.
Also when upgrading from one mythtv version to another replace sudo 
apt-get upgrade with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I also recommend a 
reboot after this.
