How to transfer recorded data from my old VIP 2250 DVR to the new VIP 2262 replacement

My old VIP 2250 developed a problem but has a lot of programs recorded on it. I received a replacement VIP 2262 and would like to transfer the recordings from the old unit over to the new one.

Just like every other DVR across the country, you can't.

Your list of scheduled shows will transfer, but nothing else.

Thanks baseballisback - This illustrates a big gap in the AT&T customer service capabilities which if addressed would set them apart. Looks like an opportunity missed.

DirecTv Stream ... works with any internet provider...

As does U-Verse. I would expect an AT&T employee to know that.

Now it is true that some features may not be available on a competitor's internet service, but it'll still work, as evidenced by the gaggle of posts in this forum from people wanting to drop AT&T internet for a competitor.

The problem is that directv stream functions like hot garbage for limited channels and high price and includes bonus advertisements! But yes it does have a cloud dvr lol.

And while it's true recordings on uverse can't be transfered EVER that's not universally true for all dvrs.
