Alright, after 3 pages of chatting has anyone come up with a solution for having 2 or more stbs seeing all 5 slots.
Sorry, we seemed to have hijacked this thread, but I thought answer might have been obvious by now. I don't know what "stbs" is. (googled set-top-box = receiver??).

I'm thinking of using this setup:
61.5 & 105 into a 21 and then exit the 21 into input 1 of a 44
110 into input 2 of a 44
119 into input 3 of a 44
121 into input 4 of a 44
The set up your thinking of using won't work. A DP21 switch can't be used as an input to a DPP44.
This works for me:
119 into input 1 of DPP44 (Dish 1 - SuperDish 121 - Stripped of Pro dual)
110 into input 2 of DPP44 (Dish 2 - SuperDish 105 - Stripped of Pro dual)
105 into input 3 of DPP44 (Dish 2 - SuperDish 105 - Stripped of Pro dual)
121 into input 4 of DPP44 (Dish 1 - SuperDish 121 - Stripped of Pro dual)
DPP44 out 1 to power inserter to DP21 input 1
61.5 Dual LNB to DP21 input 2 (Dish 3 - Dish 500 - using Pro dual from SD)
DP21 to receiver 1
DPP44 out 2 to DP21 input 1 (Dish 3 - Dish 500 - using Pro dual from SD)
61.5 Dual to DP21 input 2
DP21 to receiver 2
This is one version of what we are all talking about and it gets you two receivers seeing 5 sats. I see now that you are using 21 and 44 - are they dish pro or legacy?
If you wanted more, one easy way to do that would be to add another dish w/ProDual looking at 61.5 and use the third and forth DPP44 outputs and two more DP21's. That would get you to four. How many do you need?
There might be other solutions that wouldn't need 4 dishes for more than two receivers, but I would have to check those out.
