Thinking about installing a Home Theater in the friendly
confines of your own abode?
Well, according to DIRECTV, a poll of Home Theaters installers says the satcaster has the best TV service in the country.
Of course, DIRECTV commissioned the study, although it said the installers were not aware of that fact.

In a press release issued yesterday, DIRECTV says the Alliance Consulting Group conducted a poll of 500 Home Theater installers nationwide. The survey found that:
* By a 4-1 margin, the installers said DIRECTV had a better picture quality than cable.
* By a 2-1 margin, the installers reported that DIRECTV had the "best overall television experience."
* By a 3-1 margin, DIRECTV offered a better "Home Theater experience" on a High-Definition system than cable.
* By a 2-1 margin, DIRECTV defeated cable for the best "overall picture quality" on a high-def system;
* And by a 3-1 margin, DIRECTV beat cable for the best "Home Theater experience."
While the release said DIRECTV blew away cable among Home Theater installers, EchoStar was not mentioned.
Needless to say, DIRECTV expressed great excitement over the results in its statement.
“We’re honored that professional home-theatre installers -- the ultimate authority in home entertainment -- voted DIRECTV’s picture quality to be the best in the business,” said Paul Guyardo, DIRECTV's executive vice president of sales and marketing.
A 'Home Theater' is the industry's term for a home-based set-up that includes a large-screen HDTV and Surround Sound system.
