I always set racing to go over and some shows I set to start or finish late depending. If the box is full, then it'll delete to make room *or* if you have it set to save only 1 episode and the next one comes on before you can watch. That's why I have most of mine set to save all episodes. But I haven't heard of it deleting sporadically, I certainly haven't had that issue.
