That pic is of a quattro unit for using in large distribution situations. You want a dual or quad lnb. (2 or 4 individual lnb's built into one housing - always worth future proofing by putting a quad up instead of a dual though.).

I agree, best to build in some redundancy, anyway, twin LNBs can be as expensive as quad LNBs nowadays.

We have to watch using the term Dual LNB, as there are still some old dual LNBs kicking around from the analogue days, they were enhanced LNBs with one vertical and one horizontal output.
