The correct names in mythfrontend are:

1) "Do not record this showing" to just tell MythTV to not record that
episode at that time.  If there are repeats later (in the near or
distant future), it will still record one of them.

2) "Never record this episode", which says that you never want it to
record that episode now or in the future.  This is the one you want to
use.
