i have 2 2700's and a 3100,dish had a dual lnb with 2feeds to a multi receiver switch in the basement( 3 x 4 omega),worked great till i added the nimiq2 upgrade, now i have 2 dual lnb and 2 sw21, and as long as just 2 receivers are hooked up all is perfect but no way will the switch i have in the basement work to get all 3 receiver working,do i need to ditch the 2 sw21's and buy a sw44
 
it can work if your ok with just having 91&82 on 2 receivers, and just 91 on the third.
 
The following will let you feed 2 receivers with 91 and 82 and 1 or 2 more receivers with 91 only. Run 2 cables from the 91 LNB to the Omega SW34. Feed two of the outputs from the SW34 to the two SW21s. Run 2 cables from the 82 LNB to the other side of the SW21s.

To feed 3 or 4 receivers with 91 and 82 you will need a SW44.
 
I'm not sure the SW44, which has four inputs, works if only two are being used. Another possible alternative is a DishPro (not Omega) 34 switch, which has three inputs (one of which, AIUI, is for a OTA antenna connection) and four outputs. A DP34 should work if the two LNBs and two SW21s are both Dishpro. You can also get a Dishpro Twin LNB (currently selling for $20 - $30 on feebay) to replace the two LNBs and SW21s.
