This sounds very strange to me: my ALPS BSRV2 (FF rev. 1.3) is very
unhappy with a SR off by one on low symbolrates.
Perhaps, you should try szap to find out when you get a lock, and when
not. Or vdr with femon.

The reported symbol rates on lyngsat etc. are very often a bit too
low for channels with a wrong/missing NIT: I think these infos often
come from dbox1 with DVB-2000 users with the "good tuner" (auto-sr):
the reported SRs of the dbox1 are usually a bit lower than what they
actually are.

But: I can say that the tuner of my SS-2.6B is much better in handling
low symbol rates than the FF 1.3: the 1.3 will work on low symbol rates,
but only on strong signals (and the frequency should be entered correct-
ly, taking into account the offset of some lnbs.)
