    Yes!

    I take it that you have line of site problems with the 119 sat.
    You can use a round dish for 101 and a triple LNB just for 110/119.
    These would obviously be located where you do have line of sight.
    Connect the round dish to the 13v/18v inputs on a multiswitch. Connect two lines from the triple LNB dish to the 13v/22kHz and 18v/22kHz inputs on the switch.

    Searching his previous posts he has an H20 and a 5LNB dish.

    There are a couple of ways of doing this with 5LNB dishes.
    You can set up two slimline dishes so that one of them receives 99 and 101, and the other 103/110/119, so long as you have a WB68 multiswitch. Connect two cables from one dish to the 99/101 inputs on the WB68, and two cables from the other dish to the 103/110/119 inputs on the WB68.

    If you have an AT-9 dish, and it is one of those with regular coax F-connectors on the LNBs, then you can cross-connect another dish into the AT-9 LNB assembly. Here's a lengthy thread discussing this approach
