Answer 1

For Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 uses version 0.27:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.27

For Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04, 12.10 and version 0.26:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.26

For Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 and version 0.25:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25 

For Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 and version 0.24:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.24 

After adding one of these repositories, you can update and install with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mythtv

Answer 2

There is not an easy way to install MythTV 0.24 on Ubuntu 12.04. The version in 12.04 is 0.25, so you have two options.

1) Attempt enabling the 0.24 repository for a previous Ubuntu release, force that version to install, then lock/pin it. You should use one of the PPAs listed here.

2) Compile MythTV 0.24 from source.
