Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei Update

It has been announced that the upcoming Higurashi no Naku Koro ni OVA, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, will contain 5 episodes. I am getting the impression that it will go straight to DVD, with no TV release, as the DVD release dates have already been decided, but I'm deeply hoping it will be shown on TV because a two-month gap between episodes seems like a bit much. It will be released on a span of 5 DVDs with one episode on each, with a total of three arcs. The release dates are as follows.
