DVB S2 signals - how low can you go?

Just wondering how other peoples receivers fare with low SR channels that use DVB S2. My receiver (Humax HDCI2000) is only supposed to receive S2 channels using symbol rates between 10000 - 30000, but i've succesfully locked onto channels using symbol rates as low as 5000 and even 3404, but not been succesful on one using 2308. Just interested to know how others do?

So far, managed to get a lock on the LBC package on Eutelsat W6 at 21.6E, 11555H SR 5000 FEC 3/4 QPSK, and a signal on NSS 7 at 22W 11162H SR 3404 FEC 5/6 QPSK

Yes I see, DVB-S2 using QPSK modulation can be captured with low SR rates, although I haven't tried myself. A good find.

I think Humax are really only considering HD capability.
