Use the frontend's Custom Recording Rule editor (Manage 
Recordings|Schedule Recordings|Custom Record) and then scroll through 
the Sample Clauses until you get to "First Episodes (complete example 
for Data Direct)" and choose that, then feel free to add in an "OR 
program.subtitle LIKE '%Pilot%' " clause if you like, ideally such that 
it's only OR'ed with "program.programid LIKE 'EP%0001' " by using 
parentheses for grouping.
