Consumer Electronics - 12 August 2006

I live in Tennessee and have DirecTV HD Service. I have had a DirecTV Tivo for several years and recently upgraded to the HD Tivo. To my displeasure I have since found out that there is a new format for HD broadcasts that this new Tivo is not capable of receiving. Further DirecTV doesn't have a consumer DVR that will receive this new format. Finding information on a release date for the new DVR is tough. Does anyone here have any information concerning the release date for the new MPEG4 HD DVR from DirecTV?
