    Using legacy LNBs is a challenge. You would need 5 lines off the switch to run all the receivers with legacy equipment which means 2 switches.

    A dish 1000.2 wont work for 4 receivers, only 3. If you go with a DPP 44 which then you can get away with 4 lines, thus you would only need the one switch. Seperators only work with DPP switches. (DPP 44, 1000.2, DPP twin). You would need to swap out the legacy LNBs to Dish Pro but this way you could use one switch and get rid of your legacy adaptors. That would be the most simple setup, not the cheapest though.
