Sure there is .... just call DirecTV and request a DVR Upgrade and they'll be happy to provide an HD DVR to replace that HD Receiver, including installation of a second satellite coax cable for the DVR's second tuner if required.

Of course, if the OP somehow want to convert or modify their existing HD Receiver into an HD DVR, that's not possible.  No way, no how.

No, it's not possible. There are some Dish receivers that can do this but not DirecTV.
