Can someone please tell me what I need to get this up and running?I have a Dish 500 with a DP plus lnb and DP301 receiver.I can lock on to 119(I'm able to get 119 channels) and 110 has signal but will not lock.Do I need a switch of some sort?The lnb is the one that has 2 outputs and 1 input.
 
Check your skew.

And look toward replacing that 301 in the not too distant future. It is not 8PSK capable and I don't think Dish will activate them anymore (so keep using it, don't deactivate it).
 
sounds like you're not aimed properly then. Sounds like the 110 LNB (which if standing behind the dish looking at the eyeballs is on the right) is being used to aim at 119.
You need to move the dish a little bit east (to the left...again if standing behind the dish)
 
Humor me on this. Run the check switch one more time.

If it comes up: 119 Conn Conn
Dish is not peaked or 110 is blocked.

If it comes up: Conn 119 Conn
You are getting 119 on 110 lnb and need it repointed further west.

This answer might be correct if he didn't have a dish 500.

How so?
OP says he has 500 dish with DPP Twin. If you run a check switch on a DPP Twin it comes up with three possible sat locations (2 integrated, 1 external).

So what was your question?
