if you have 2 dishes really far apart, do you have to run 2 cables from the 110/119 dish to the 91 dish where the switch is or can you use an sw21 and run one cable?

two lines from the dp twin, into ports 1/2 of an external 4x1 diseqc.
then 91 into port 3.

either run 2 longs from 110/119 to switch at 91
or move switch to 110/119 and run 1 long cable from 91 to switch at 110/119

the 91 dish is much closer to the stb so a long line back would have to exist and defeat the purpose.

If your twin is DP it woudn't work with a 3x4 or 4x4 multi.
You should let us know what is each LNB .
What arboristman and bigevil69 suggested, would work anyway.
