The easiest way I can think of is to run mythsetup and disconnect the 
tuner from the source.  Then all of your configurations are all still 
there, but it just won't record on that tuner.

I am not aware of any way to do it from the frontend or mythweb.  As the 
configurations move into mythweb in upcoming releases then this will be 
possible.
