I can't recall having seen anything as far as what a proper switch matrix is for the 1000.4 LNB. In any case, the 61.5 LNB is the one that is by itself instead of the wide cap on the other end of the 1000.4 Triple. So, just set your meter to 61.5 and then make sure you are getting it locked through that LNB by covering it with your hand and looking for a dropout in signal on your meter as you do it. If you don't get a dropout, hold down the DOWN ARROW, switch to LNB B or to LNB C and then see if you get a dropout by covering the 61.5 LNB with your hand.
Just gotta make sure 61.5 is coming through the 61.5 eye when you lock it down. As far as skew angles, I imagine they'll be included in a booklet in the dish packs. Otherwise, you can go to satsig.net and they have a tool where you can enter in a satellite's longitude and it will tell you the skew angle and the elevation and azimuth. The skew offset for linear is pretty much the same as multi-sat skews. The center of the 1000.4 dish will be halfway between 61.5 and 77, or in other words, a satellite that is theoretically positioned at 69.25 degrees longitude. So just go to satsig.net and put in 69.25 as the satellite orbital slot and get the azimuth and elevation settings for that and then just adjust your skew either positive or negative based on what it tells you.
