Go to each episode and press Menu, Recording Options, change recording metadata. Paste in the correct interef, preceded by ttvdb.py_, for example ttvdb.py_269641, in the InetRef field. After changing them all, go to Menu, Job Options, Begin Metadata Lookup. You can take a shortcut by adding them all to the playlist and using playlist options to Begin Metadata Lookup on the entire playlist.

You can also refresh artwork by running mythmetadatalookup --refresh-all-artwork
