Ideally I'd like to make it so it thinks it has no tuners free for (say) the next day - and then it would either schedule a later showing, or flag a conflict ? That way I could see if there's anything "essential" coming up and plan my downtime accordingly. If I just deleted the listings, then I'd almost certainly miss recordings that I want.

That would tie up both tuners leaving nothing free. I'm using two tuners, both with multirec, on UK Freeview (DVB-T).

The thought I had was to flip the "Visible" field using the channel-info 
  display of Mythweb.

I know it will suppress most activity of the channel but I have never 
tested to see if it stops scheduling too.
