I have 2 single lnbs with 2 outlets on each on one dish and a single lnb on another dish.The 2 lnbs on the one dish gets 110 and 119 and the one by itself gets 61.5.My question is what kind of switch do I need to hook them up to 2 recivers

Simplest/cheapest solution would be a diseqc switch . The one that came with the receiver will work but it is recommended to purchase a more robust one.

What type of LNBs are they? Are they Legacy or DishPro ? If Legacy then as Stan said a simple 4x1 DiSEqC switch would work fine. If they are DishPro LNBs then a DP34 or DPP44 switch would be recommended as DishPro LNBs consume more power and the power inserter with those switches may be needed.

since you are hooking up 2 receivers you would need to use 2 simple diseqc switches (one for each receiver) ...

that's provided that the single LNB you're using for 61.5 is a dual (2 outputs) ... if it only has 1 output then you can't hook that satellite up to both receivers you will need to change the LNB :)

You can use 1 switch however it would need to be a 4x2 DiSEqC switch - EMP Centauri also makes one, the model (P.167-W).
