DSTV Smart lnb & Xtraview

Need a bit of help with the newish DSTV Smart lnb.

I have looked all over the place and can't find any help with the wiring of the smart lnb. I am a complete novice when It comes xtraview.

At the moment my explora is connected to Unicable A, BCD are capped off.
I am wanting to add my old HD PVR 2 as a Xtraview.

My First question is, will I be able to use a single cable for the HD PVR or Will it have to be two.
Secondly, What ports will I need to connect them too.
Thirdly, I heard that you could connect the heart beat cable at the Smart LNB, If so then from what port to what port.
Lastly I am wanting to split the cable in the roof to go to two different rooms. I will move the HD PVR from one room to the other depending on if I have guests or not. I will never use more than one decoder on the split cable. Would I have a to much of signal degradation to run the HD PVR.

I have searched through the forums and googled for this type of info but all I could find was how to set up the HD PVR decoder.

Two Cables from 1&2 straight to the HD PVR2 Run heartbeat cable from Explora to same PVR

You can use a single cable to the 2P, but there are some setup needed on the decoders. I would advise you get an installer.

Decided not to screw things up and rather get an installer.

Where's the fun in that!

Connect cabling as advised above adn then call the DSTV Call Centre.

Make a cup of coffee and wait a while for an answer but they will basically give you step by step instructions on how to configure the decoders.
