I want to watch my dvr shows

What receiver are you using? Why is it not connected to the satellite cable? Are you travelling with the receiver? Some more information is needed to help resolve your issue. Thanks.

You won't be able to watch your DVR's recordings without a satellite connection.  Sometimes it works for a little while, but eventually, the DVR will become a "brick" without an active satellite connection.

The dogs tore them out. 

Well shoot   Thanks!

The dogs tore out your satellite cables?

Those can be easily replaced. Which cables got destroyed?
