Getting a new DVR box, can recordings be transferred?

I am going to have to swap out my dvr box with a new one (for the 3rd time) each time i've done this i have had to go in and re do all my  show recording setups which is a complete pain.  I was wondering if the cox stores are able to electronically transfer all that info, sort of like when you get a new phone and the phone company can transfer all your contacts, etc.
