Swapping hard drives

I recently have had a "Tuner 2 - No signal" problem. I have tried swapping the two coax cables in the back, but still no signal on Tuner two.

Customer service says I will probably have to replace the receiver. My question is this: Can I swap the hard drive from my old receiver to the new one DirecTV sends me, thus saving all the programs and movies I have recorded?

I was wondering if my content will be OK or will the operating system in the DVR reformat the exchanged hard drive?

Thanks in advance, Hal C.
