possible, need two separate LNBF and little time for reading old threads dedicated to same question here
The problem is that both lnb's would be out of the single focus of the dish and probably not much better (if not worse) than a Dish 500.
The focal length is the same as the original single lnb but offset to each side.
It is similar to receiving one satellite but being off to the left or right by about 5 degrees.

As I wrote before, from my experience - used 5 LNBFs with 39" pan and got better values then 20" D500.
In the FTA department, we put multiple LNBs on dishes all the time.
We have all sorts of tricks and techniques to hold the LNBs.
Why exactly do you need to use a 36" for 110 & 119?
But more to your specific problem, here's an oval Primestar with 110/119 LNBs by McGuyver.
And, here's a close up of the LNB mounting technique.
You can click the big picture, for an even larger one.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get two 36 inch dishes, one for 110 and one for 119? I know most people would hate this solution but it makes sense to me...
