My wife has stuff recorded on the DVR that I know she will not have time to watch before we move. (Even though that may be up to 10 or 11 months yet)

We also are comcast in IL. When we moved a couple of years ago, we were still with the same Comcast office but had to turn in the equipment and get new equipment because it became a new account number in their system. There is no easy way to get those recordings off the old DVR. They do have an external hard drive port but, it is disabled. If you are keeeping both accounts open, there is a feature in the DVR controls to send to another DVR. Don't know if it would work across their system though between cities or regions. I think it's only meant to work within your house. (don't quote me) I think I have them scheduled to set us up on Aug 3rd, we'll see. I will try to confirm with them a week or so ahead of time. Anyway, only way I know of to keep the recordings is to record to tape, dvd or computer while you play it back. You won't be able to keep the equipment and take it to TV, even though they might be using the exact same equipment in FL.
