Don't set any shows to auto-expire.  There is a default setting that new 
rules will get and then each rule can be customized.  Myth will only 
delete what you let it.  More importantly, if you are getting shows 
deleted, you are sorely in need of disk space so consider that as well 
since setting shows to not auto-expire in a low disk space situation 
will only cause it to fill up and prevent recordings.
