WNCN / WRAL Affiliate Swap
Currently WRAL is an affiliate of CBS and WNCN of NBC but on Monday, February 29 they will swap the national network they are affiliated with. I have many national network programs scheduled to record for both. Will U-Verse change the assigned stations in my DVR schedule automatically or will I have to do manually? If I have to do manually, is there a way to get a copy of all that I have scheduled?

The DVR records by the name of the program so as long as you have it set to record a program it should record unless you have it set to record the program on a channel. Check your channel options

I believe the default is to limit to a channel.

@ApexRon - As @JefferMC says the first criteria for starting a recording is the channel number. If a show is not on the channel number listed on the series item or there is an infrequent error that removes the channel number from the series list record - the episode will not record.
So, you do need to manually change(remove old - add new) all your series settings for any of the shows on these channels that are moving to a different number. Once the Series list is changed the scheduled list will soon follow when the new series records are processed.
You can find the existing list - DVR- Series (last item on top header)
Note that only network programs change channel number. It is a subset of all programs on each channel. The channel level is not changing. There would not be an automatic way to determine which programs to change.

I was able to print a list of scheduled programming from the U-Verse website's view DVR function. I am planning to use the IMDB website to determine what programming will never return so that I can delete as well as which CBS/NBC programs are in a seasonal hiatus so that I can make note to add them at a later date. Finally, using my printout, I will go through and delete the programs that are moving channels and then, using the guide, add them back.

Think you're going through alot more than you need to, wouldn't be surprised if everything just switchs over automatically. We have gone through channel # changes that switched things over in the past. 😉
