I currently have a 2 lnb directv dish with the 2 rg6 runs to a 3x4 multiswitch. I am going to install a slimeline 5 lnb dish and add a HR22 receiver. Will I be able to use the 2 rg6 runs and 3x4 multiswitch with my present set-up, then just run 2 new rg6 runs to my HR22 ? I will be using the original 4 standard receivers and the new HR22 digital receiver.

a 3x4 will not correctly pass the 119 satellite and should not be used, if you have 4 existing lines and are adding a hddvr to have a total of 6, then you should use a 6x8. i guess it should work in theory though, you only need a sl3 though not a 5. If you have a dual lnb dish (18" round) however if you have the old 18x24 (two physical dual lnbs) run into a 4x4 and you are mistaking the switch then the 5lnb is required.
And I would also just call directv to do this, setting up a ka/ku yourself can be very complicated, and the switch and all correct hardware will be included free of charge to you.

The plain answer is no.
All four lines from the dish will go to a WB68 and then out to the tuners.
You can save yourself some money and headache (assuming this is a lawful install) by having DIRECTV do at least the dish and the switchgear for you.
