I really don't know anything about DirecTV equipment. I suspect the World DirecTV Dish is a 5 orbital location KA and KU band dish. Anyway, the DirecTV LNBF's will not work with Dish Network receivers & switches because Dish Network' LNBF's uses DishPro and/or Bandstacking technology.
NOTE: DP Dual means it has 2 connectors on it to feed 2 signals, and does not have 2 LNB's for 2 orbital locations. 2 orbital locations would be called a DP Twin.
SOLUTIONS:
You should be able to take your DishPro Dual LNBF and use it on the Dish 500 with an I-Bracket for either Satellite 61.5 or 148. It will also work for 129.
However, it will not work for 121, 105, nor 118.7 which are FSS satellites.
Dish Pointing:
- Sat 148: Azimuth = 223; Elevation = 34
- Sat 61.5: Azimuth = 104; Elevation = 26
Hindi:
- I could not find a Hindi Package. Under the South Asian programming there are several packages availabe that include Hindi channels, and in some cases certain channels can be purchased A La Carte.
- I don't think any of the Hindi channels are currently on 118.75.
- It looks like all of the Hindi channels are on 121,
which needs a "Bandstacked FSS LNBF"
- I think all of the Hindi channels are on 148.
- I think all of the Hindi channels are on 61.5.
HD:
- You should be able to pick up the HD programming on 61.5 or 129.
Phoenix, AZ Locals:
- Phoenix SD Locals are on Sat 119, Transponder 5 & 7, Spotbeam 6.
- Phoenix HD Locals are on Sat 110 (currently 4 channels).
You have 3 choices:
(1) Peak your Dish 1000 for 119 & 110. Disconnect the Dual LNBF for 129 from the DPP Twin. Connect in its place, the Dish 500 dish with the DP Dual LNBF & peaked on 61.5. Run 2 cables from the DPP Twin to the 2 receivers.
You should have everything (regular, SD/HD locals, HD, PIC & Hindi) with 119, 110, & 61.5.
(2) Buy a DPP-44 Switch. Peak Dish 1000 for 119, 110, and 129. Connect two cables from DPP Twin to Port 1 and Port 2 on DPP-44 to get 119 & 110. Connect 129 to Port 3 on DPP-44. Peak a Dish 500 dish with DP Dual LNBF on Satellite 148 or 61.5 and connect it to Port 4 on the DPP-44. Run 2 cables from DPP-44 output to 2 receivers.
You should have everything (regular, SD/HD locals, HD, PIC & Hindi) with 119, 110, 129 & 61.5.
You should have everything but the Public Information Channels (PIC) if using 148 instead of 61.5.
(3) Buy a SuperDish 121 and DPP-44 Switch. Peak the SuperDish 121 to 119, 110, and 121; then connect it to the DPP-44 Ports 1, 2 & 3. Take your Dish 1000 and peak it to 129; then connect it to Port 4. Run 2 cables to the 2 receivers.
This will give you everything except the extra Public Information Channels on 61.5.
Dish Network isn't known for having up-to-date web pages, but you could check the individual channels you are interested in to see what Satellites they are on:
