Tech came out - BTW, he's a local guy with a local phone number - not a 1-800 - a father and son independent DISH and Direct dealer - just the two of them doing installs. I'd been out with my Boy Scout-style compass trying to figure out if the EA was going to be clear of some trees out back. He had a smart phone app which uses his phone's camera to display a real-time view from the existing dish location - full color photo image of the trees in question with the 61.5 and 72.7 satellites super-imposed on the image well clear of the trees. Wish I had that when I put in a C-Band dish 24 years ago! Anyway, we kicked it around. He wasn't interested in installing a separate 61.5 dish and couldn't/wouldn't say if I'd be able to get DISH to authorize/turn-on EA locals on 61.5 while main dish is on WA. He said he could reconfigure my WA dish for EA with a new 61.5/72.7 LNB in about 30 minutes at no charge - DISH would foot the bill as a free upgrade to get the HD locals. It seemed like the best, least complicated option so I gave him the go ahead. He called DISH at my request to verify there would be no change of programming, that all of my Dish America channels were available on the EA, and that there would be no charge and no new commitment. He did his thing, ran a check switch, got a good lock on both satellites, got a new guide download, and everything worked as it should. Probably just my imagination, but EA picture seems to be sharper, colors more vivid. I know a locked digital signal on either arc should give the same image, but I was especially pleased with the picture quality on today's NASCAR race on ESPN and tonight's NFL game on FOX. No significant rainfall since the install so no way yet to judge rain fade. I'm happy with the outcome - just irked to find out HD locals have been available on the EA here since last Fall. With all of the times I've call DISH to inquire about HD availability, you'd think they'd have a system in place to notify customers of available upgrades.
