Will I lose any of my recordings if I unplug my main receiver/Genie?

I need to replace the power strip the main direct tv receiver is plugged in to. Can I unplug it and not have to worry about losing any of my recordings or resetting it?

Your recordings will be fine.  Unplugging your DVR is no different than unplugging and rebooting a PC.

Make sure to not replace it with a "smart" power strip. Some of those don't play well with DirecTV boxes.
