DIRECTV's HD DVR coming out in August?

Despite earlier reports, it looks like DIRECTV might have their HD DVR ready to go within a few weeks. We don't have confirmation of this yet, but according to some quotes on TV Weeks website, DIRECTV is aiming for an August launch. The HD DVR is set to come out only in the Los Angeles market first and then slowly work its way into other major markets within the following weeks. We, and many angry investors, hope this is in fact right on the money even though we don't know how we feel about a limited roll out. Well, we guess it's better then nothing.
