I can. I set up low priority rules to record everything with "Pilot"  
in the description and whatever schedulesdirect tells me is the first  
and second airing of a program. That generally gives me enough of an  
idea of what's new and if I actually want to watch it.

No more channel surfing or watching network TV ads to tell me when  
something "good" is going to be starting up. On the off chance I do  
find something new and good, I turn it into a regular rule and  
typically wait for a few episodes to record before I start watching  
since my free time tends to come in large chunks, not 30 minute or 1  
hour intervals at night.
