Post Which switch type for invacom setup?

I have two VS2000 ultra receivers connecting to a Dish 500 with 2 dual Legacy LNB pointing to 119 & 110. Each receiver connects to the 2 lnbs via a 4x1 DiSEqC switch each on ports 1 & 2. This works fine.
I also have a 90cm Fortec Star dish with an Invacom QPH-031 & HH90 motor. I would like to connect the motorized dish to the mix. One Receiver of course will not be able to control the motor. I intended to connect the invacom C + L ports to one of Diseqc's ports 3 & 4. For the receiver that will control the motor, will use port #3 of the Diseqc to the motor. Then connect a Diseqc or 22khz switch between the 2nd set of C & L lnb ports of the invacom & the motor. However, I have read contradictory information about not connecting a diseqc switch between the receiver & the motor.

So is possible to get my desired setup working?
If possible, what switch type should I use between the receiver & the motor?
What switch type should I use between the motor & the invacom C/L LNBs?

Perhaps you will need to run a coax to the motor, then from there to the switch, then to the LNB.

If you want to connect multiple receivers to the same LNB, you need a multiswitch. Here is some info on that...

Maybe reading the rules will provide some insight. Piracy of DN signal is illegal. It is not allowed here. Did DN hit all these hackers receivers once again? Seems like they are coming out of the woodwork once again.
