I apologize this is such a basic question, but if i want to swap my hd dvr & hd receiver between my existing tvs, i can do that, right? Anything i need to know beforehand?

Without a SWM you will not have full functionality on the HD DVR unless there are 2 lines connected to the dish/MS there as well. Other then that no you won't have any issues. Keep the remotes in the same room so you don't have to reprogram them.

SWM = Single Wire MultiSwitch

If there is only one coax going to your DVR and both tuners in it work, then you do have a SWM.
