You can use the Dish 300 numbers (single LNB) and for the middle 119 LNB on...

Do a check switch with no dish connected to cancel all LNB selection and then each port on the dish will just feed a specific satellite signal to your receiver. When you get the right satellite aimed for the port your connected to, then do a check switch to receive all three sats.
