Is there anything sinister about the fact that it is only showing one

No.


Maybe that entry is shorthand for Astra 2E/2F/2G


As Bill said, the satellites are so close at the 28.2E orbital position,
that they look like one larger signal.


If I had an elevation error on the dish, might it be possible to get some
but not all of them?


Yes. If you are getting any of them at any point on the movement of
the dish then the elevation is right for those ... but the elevation
(/declination) either side of that could be wrong if the polar mount
isn't set up correctly?
