And to Jeff. The 'multi' LNBs that I was asking you about are not multiple
singles on a bracket on one dish, but all inside one standard sized LNB
package, so it's one lump with either two or four F connectors on its back.

See my comment to Mr Meat Plow about the ambiguous term "dual LNB".

There are dishes with 5 LNB's and a built in switch. For example, the
DirecTV AU9 Slimline dish:

They have 4 outputs, each of which can be switched to one LNB and
pickup a satellite. The assumption is that there will be a maximum of
4 receivers attached, so that there's no need for a 5th output.

I haven't noticed a 5 LNB dish with only 2 outputs.

Things get rather messy with 7 satellites and 4 receivers:
