In Watch Recordings with the episode highlighted:  MENU|Storage 
Options|Mark as Watched

or enable the setting:

Automatically mark a recording as watched
If set, when you exit near the end of a recording it will be marked as 
watched. The automatic detection is not foolproof, so do not enable this 
setting if you don't want an unwatched recording marked as watched.

in mythfrontend settings, Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|Playback and 
then when you exit a record "near" the end, it will automatically mark 
it as watched (and you can unmark it manually using the approach above).
