New DVR coming - wife panicking about lost shows

I thought I'd do something nice for my wife for Mother's Day, so I replaced our 32" CRT with a 47" HDTV and upgraded our package to include HD. This required us to buy a new receiver. All was well and good until this evening when she asked me if there was a way to retrieve the shows off the old DVR and play them on the new one. She came within an inch of asking me to cancel the upgrade if the answer was "No!". I convinced her not to.

Short of keeping the old receiver around just to play back the one episode of WonderPets our neighbor's kid missed, is there something we can do to transfer the video from the old DVR to the new one? The crew comes Friday to handle the upgrade, and I've got until then to find a solution. No solution = I hope my couch is comfy.
