I know this may be a stupid question but, is it possible?

Of course. Just configure it for 119 only. How you configure it depends on which LNB you have. Set the LNB as Universal

On a Quad LNB I have I have to use 9750/10600 and on a dual LNB I have it's 9750/10750

Assuming you have the special low freq circular lnb designed for 118/119 you can can setup either (or both) in your antenna settings . You will have a lock on both satellites .

so which frequency do I have to set it on? I am positive it is the 118.7/119 one and it says on it:

Twin Circular LNBF
I.F: 11.7 ~ 12.275GHz
L.O: 10.75GHz
N.F: 0.3dB(Typ)

so I set it to 10750 right?

Yes. You need to set lnb frequency to 10750.

Just to be clear, the low frequency circular lnb can be used for any circular polarity satellite as long as you use the 10750 lnb frequency.

which brand is the best? I bought one but the signal was very weak for 118 when tried to lock in . I'v 33" most channels signal were very weak.

Where are you located because in Toronto I get 118.8 on a 18" dish no problem. For your information 119 is circular and 118.8 is linear!

No, they are both circular. 118 is simply on a frequency normally used by linear sats. The 18" dish you're using is very much an exception.

The best is the one provided by dn, however as an aftermarket the DIGIWAVE DGL1189S has proven to work very good using the larger dishes.
