Hooking up hd with expressvu???

i recently got a new HDTV and am looking to upgrade my expreesvu serive to HD. Currently I have 3 SD receivers hooked up using a SW24 multiswitch.
I understand that i need to get a second LNBF on my dish. i will only need HD on one Tv. i think that i have to have one line coming off the 91 LNBF and the 81 LnBF combined using a SW21. Can the line coming from the SW21 then go through the SW24. That would leave one line from the 91 LNBF going to the other input on the SW24 and one line from the 81 LNBF left un-used. Would this set-up work or do i need to get a SW44 switch??

i hope some of this makes sense.

If you buy the HD reciever you get an upgrade kit with lnb 44 switch and power inserter,If you go with an all in one plan you get free installation,but what you discribed should work.
