If you connect 1A and 1B with 2 wires from 91 LNBF, and 2A and 2B with 2 wires to 82 LNBF, thus in total giving you 4 wires to the SW44 switch, you can make it work, but before I forget ENSURE THAT "port 1 to receiver" has the power inserter connected !!! otherwise the setup will not work! Hopefully that answers your question

PS: Also ensure you run checkswitch to ensure you pickup your new switch in the receivers your connect, menu 6 1 1 and select check switch, once it has identified it as SW44 with both satellites showing up you should be good to go!

You have nothing to loose by trying it......

If it does not work (as Bell TV do not have SW41's) at least an SW21 is cheap.

Sorry for my misunderstanding, I had thought it was a typo and you truly meant to say SW44, I haven't seen a SW41, although google'ing it reveals such a device does exist, will it work though is difficult to say, but as Pinza has stated it doesn't hurt to try it and see if it works
