I have a dp twin lnb to get 110&119 and a standard lnb to get 91. what switch do I need? Thanks for any help I can get.

Should be able to use the Disqec switch that came with the unit .... set ports to match, and you should be okay ...

Depending on the receiver most use "OCS-DP" for the twin LNB setting to receive 110/119, and "standard" for the other type of LNB, then with a 4 input 1 output Diseqc switch you set Diseqc switch port 1 to 119, port 2 to 110 and port 3 to 91.

The DP twin has an internal Diseqc switch, so to keep from conflicting with internal settings the external switch must match it.

if you use a cheap 22khz burst switch, one input is a pass-through to the internal switch on the DPtwin and the other is for the 91W. turn ON the 22kz setting for 91W.

Thanks for your help. Do I need to run coax from both ports on the dp twin?

i assume you have a dptwin meaning it is one solid unit with two eyes built in. you only need one coax from the Dptwin (use the 119 side) it has an internal switch to change from sat 119 & 110. in the stb setup set 119 on port 1 and 110 on port 2.

If you use the diseqc switch, you will need a feed from both ports of the lnb to the switch as Terryl explained above. Essentially three short feeds from the lnbs to the diseqc and connect the existing feed from the receiver to the out port of the switch.
