No that dish will not work because all the lnb's are in one and made for DTV receivers.It may pick up a single sat but not multi sats.

I looked at one not to long ago.The dish has 5 lnb's but only has 3 or 4 connection ports not 5 I believe.Some of the ports are for adding another receiver.I think all lnb's are tied together and thats why it will not work.If they are tied together it would be hard to tell what lnb is pointed at what sat.It may pick up a sat but you will never be able to use it with fta receivers and make it work properly.

What dish setup would you suggest. I want to get 110 and 119 but not at the same time, what size dish.

Any 18 inch dish will work and the 2 single LNB's that you have will work with 18" dish. It could be DTV, DN,BEV or Star choice dish.
