Well recently my Mom upgraded to HD, she was previously on a DISH 500 (110/119.) Now she's on a 1000.4 (the black dish, looks pretty neat) EA (61.5/72.7/77.) I've been on a 1000.2 WA (110/119/129) for quite a while now. We both live in a dual-arc DMA, only difference being that WA has SD locals of the Big Four as well as HD. There was a list a while back ago of DMAs that would be installed WA by default or EA if no LOS to WA ( [URL]http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/235590-20-dmas-moving-back-western-arc.html[/URL] .) We happen to live in one of those DMAs.

Long story short, I have a few questions: 1.) Any idea why my Mom was moved to EA? There is a single tree that could possibly block 129, but I'm not so sure it really would have blocked it. 2.) Do installers carry both WA and EA equipment in dual-arc locations? 3.) Do they still have the WA preference in the DMAs on that list? 4.) Will DISH ever pull any stunts similar to the whole 61.5/110/119 fiasco where they pull locals from one Arc?

Not complaining in the least, everything went nearly perfectly, signal strength is great on both installs, I have 2 722Ks she has 1 722K. I am mainly just curious if at some point in the future DISH will pull dual-arc DMAs for a single Arc.
