This is how normal recording schedules work - based on the title
provided in the listings data. You could use a title search instead to
broaden the search to include all titles that include "NCIS".

Where are you getting your listings from now?
If you are already using EIT, the programme data that MythTV gets will
be the same that a commercial PVR would be using. Perhaps the EIT data
needs some fixups applied within MythTV if this is a consistent
problem across many programme titles?
Cheers,
