My suggestion would be to run two cables from your 91 transponder to your 34 switch. Two of the cables from this switch would run into your SW44 along with two cables from your 82 transponder. These four out cables from the SW44 would feed both of your dual tuner receivers. The other two cables from your 34 switch would only have the 91 satellite feed but that wouldn't miss much on an SD receiver.
You probably know better than me ... but wouldn't another 3/4 do exactly what the 21 is doing only giving you four outputs with a commingled sat signal for use for multiple HD needs?

You leave everything else exactly where it is so the SD duel PVR and 3100 are still sourced from the original 34, the output from the original 34 goes into the new one along with the 82 run from the other sat giving you four exit points for the HD of which you only need two.

You might get away with a 22 if there is such a thing, but a 34 would give you more expansion.

Or am I out to lunch?
