Why you don't install mythtv using ready made packages....

Using System->Administration->Software sources [Ubuntu software tab] please enable (Check the checkbox) all the showed repositories rows.

BTW you can also install use deb packages type to see all mythtv packages type:

aptitude search mythtv

to install desired packages type for example:

sudo aptitude install mythtv

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

You don't need to install MythTV by sources.

Just have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV. It's a really good introduction on installing MythTV on Ubuntu.
