You need to kill whatever service starts X, because otherwise when you kill
X that service restarts it.

To find out try

pstree |grep X

Mine returns (on this laptop, not mythbuntu)

nick at envy ~ $ pstree|grep X
     |-mdm---mdm-+-Xorg---4*[{Xorg}]

therefore mdm is the service that starts X. so

sudo service stop mdm

should work.
