You can directly split LNBF lines to a multiswitches or a pair of SW44, becasue each line is locked to a signal. The output of an SW21 or SW44 isn't, and cannot be locked, and is to supply one signal to one tuner.

just FYI, my friend wanted to run his SW44 (with all four lines used) along with an additional receiver without putting up another dish or getting another SW44+splitters. He got two 2x4 multiswitches (one for 91, one for 82) off eBay for $10 each and connected two outputs from each to his SW44 and he says it is working fine.
So I guess that means the output from a multiswitch can be locked
I suppose he could also use his spare SW21 to combine the signals coming from the multiswitch if he wanted both sat's on his extra receiver, but he hasn't tried that yet - he is only feeding it 91
