When recorder is replaced do I have set up recordings again?

Yes. Sadly it's not possible to transfer recordings between DirecTV DVRs.

Hi, @DwightFrank. @litzdog911 is right, you have to set up recordings again when replacing your receiver. DIRECTV appreciates your understanding. Criscel, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Recordings are encrypted to their exact DVR and hard drive so cannot be transferred, even if using an optional external drive with it.
