Ah, OK.  Yeah, max episodes is, by default, just a recording limit.  
Since deleting episodes is destructive, the record new and delete oldest 
option is disabled by default to prevent users from accidentally losing 
important episodes.  That said, you can change the default for yourself 
with a recording rule template.
