DVR saved programming

When switching from DISH to DIRECTV, will I be able to transfer my DVR saved programming from the HOPPER to my DIRECTV DVR?  The salesmen told me I would not lose my saved programs if I switched.

You will not be able to move recordings. Also, recordings can not be moved from one DirecTV DVR to another DirecTV DVR, they are encrypted to the individual boxes.

Thank you for your quick response. I am disappointed that the salesmen told me I would not lose my saved programs just to mislead me into switching.

It's disappointing that sales people will say whatever just to make a sale. Another thing, there is only a 24hr cancellation period with DirecTV. after that 24hrs if you cancel there will be an early termination fee (usually $20/month for the remaining months in contract, starting at 24 months). Sometimes this doesn't get explained either.
