Angry Recording From V+ Box HDD To DVD

Hi All,
First post from a newby, so far so good!!
Initially I came onboard for general info. on various fairly minor issues & found very good, helpful advise which was appreciated.
Then my V+ Hd box(Pace) began to do things it did not used to do, freezing, slowing, whirring for a few mins. very regularly when turned off & re-booting 2/3 times per week, that I know of, which disrupts viewing & recording. VM eventually contacted & told me an engineer can be booked who may change the box, what about content on the hard disc, oh you would lose that I`m afraid, you could record the content to DVDs?
I read lots of posts on recording to a DVD recorder & noted the many problems people were having, even with help & advise. I followed much of the advise with absolutely no success, I admit its probably something I am doing or not doing but it was either give up & forget my current recordings or have major regrets for ensuing behaviours & associated health risks, so give up it has to be.
But why oh why, in this type of situation, can`t the engineer connect one box to another & transfer all recorded content onto the re-placement box, what would be required to enable this must be relatively easy to put in place & would be very much appreciated by customers who have to have a new box. Any thoughts?
