First, I'm only talking about pressing MENU from within the schedule
editor.  Make sure you're in the schedule editor.  You'll get totally
different options if you're in the EPG, View Upcoming or elsewhere.

Second, the menu is context sensitive and only shows applicable
options.  In Steppes and any other theme, you should only see the
metadata option when pressing MENU if the rule is not "Do not record".
For the Mythbuntu theme, it contains a metadata button on the main
screen which can also be used to access that functionality.  Either
that theme hasn't been updated or the authors have chosen not to use
the new features.  Please also note there is a bug I noticed where the
metadata button is left enabled when the rule is "Do not record".
I'll fix that shortly.
