The term "dual" was already established to refer specifically to an LNB that can receive from a single satellite and that has two outputs for two receivers.  So when Dish Network wanted a name to refer to their single housing that contained LNBs for pointing at two satellites they used the word "Twin" with an uppercase T.  Twin is a name created by Dish Network with a different meaning than the word twin (lowercase t).The term "dual" was already established to refer specifically to an LNB that can receive from a single satellite and that has two outputs for two receivers.  So when Dish Network wanted a name to refer to their single housing that contained LNBs for pointing at two satellites they used the word "Twin" with an uppercase T.  Twin is a name created by Dish Network with a different meaning than the word twin (lowercase t).  There is no such thing in the Dish Network word as a Twin dual LNB unit.
