yes, if you have a pair of dp dual lnb's you can just connect the the one that is aimed at 91.

I have my dpp 500 aimed at 110 and 119. I used another single LNB dish to the 91 sat. Combined them with an SW21 switch. There shouldn't be any reason why only aiming at one sat wouldn't work though. Just leave the skew set to 90. One thing you might want to check is your LNB port setting to make sure you are powering and aiming the same one. I had my port setting backwards on my 110 119 setup and could not get both to come in. Then I realized what I did and aimed them right away. Rookie mistake.
Good luck,
BigBee
