I currently have the following setup:

*Twin LNB - the 2 cables go into a multi switch, which splits and feeds:
**HD PVR 2P (2 cables into this I think)
**HD el cheapo view only decoder (1 or 2 cables into this I think)
*There is obviously a heartbeat cable between the 2 for Xtraview

Now I just bought an Explora which comes with a smart LNB and installation etc. What I want to know is, if I get rid of the el cheapo HD decoder and stick the Explora in the spot, will the 2 cables coming from the dish (leading from the new smart LNB) be enough to run the 2P PVR and the Explora? Will the multiswitch still be in play?

What is the setup configuration here - the reason I am asking is that the conduit wherein the current LNB cables run is full and may not take any more if more need to be run from the dish to my TV stand.
