Update the repository lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update;
apt-get dist-upgrade. You need to be root for all of those, or use sudo.
There's also the update manager GUI that's probably installed in your X
desktop. Just exist the Myth frontend, hit escape till it asks you and say
yes, and look around in the menus. I don't know where it is as I prefer the
command line version.

The Myth Wiki has database backup info. You just dump the data to a file. Do
this before upgrading. :)

You shouldn't need to re-install or anything drastic like that. I've jumped
a couple versions of Ubuntu with no ill effects. All the Myth stuff upgraded
just fine for me.
