Recovery of recordings

I just replaced an HR24-500 with a new Gemini which I like a lot so far. I had an external hard drive connected to the HR24-500 where I captured my recorded shows. Is there a way to recover these recordings?

Sorry, no. The recordings are encrypted to the receiver that recorded them and cannot be transferred to a new receiver. As a note, the Gemini is a Genie client so it relies on the main Genie to record content.

I was aware that older units were like that but one of the Geminis benefits was that the change could be made without loosing recorded programs. That must have meant recordings on the Genie. What is the recording capacity of the Genie?

As Juniper stated, Genie DVRs HR34, HR44, AND HR54 all have a 1TB HDD. The newest HS17 headless Genie server has twice the storage, a 2TB HDD.
