DirecTV slimline dish question

Ok, I'm a little confused about the new Slimline 5 lnb dishes. I just saw my cousin's new dish that was installed and it's only got 3 round lnb's on it's arm - 2 small ones and one large one in the center of the arm. This thing is supposedly a 5 lnb dish since it gets all the new HD channels. So, does that mean the center large round lnb is actually 3 lnb's? I was actually expecting 5 individual round lnb's on it's arm. Googling pictures is pretty much useless since all I see is the side angle shot showing only one of the lnb's.

Thanks for the clarification 🙂
 
Damn.. They are getting a lot of LNBs on dishes now.. When we had Satellite internet we had the DirecTV LNB mounted to the side of the internet transponder arm. It was a dual LNB setup. Then we we upgraded our service they gave us a triple LNB dish. Now they're doing 5LNBs? Dang :laugh:
 
yeah its getting pretty ridiculous now.
I have dish network and I have two dishes to get all the channels.
one dish with 3 dual lnb and a second dish with 1 dual lnb.
All this combines into a couple cables that come into the house and then are split out again back to all the different boxes.
