I noticed today that a blind scan picked up something that was listed as being there in Lyngsat but the SR was off by about 3 digits. Must that be an exact number or can a "little drift" be OK?

SR needs to be exact?

Usually what I have learned is that if its almost exact it should be good enough to lock onto. For example if I see one listed at 13235 I may lock onto it with mine around 13248 or so
I have found on the S9 the freq is more touchy for a lock. SR just seems to work if it is close. I've wondered about this too. Will being exact help picture freeze ups or stalls...glitches, you know...
We'll let an old expert jump in here.

depends on the receiver. Some need to be exactly on, others can have the SR off a little bit and still lock onto the signal. If you have a receiver where the SR can be loose, I would make the case that frequency is more important than the SR because if you are off enough in frequency, you won't lock the carrier despite how loose your receiver may allow the SR to be.
On my AZbox Ultra when i do a blind scan many times the FR and SR both seem to be a few digits lower or higher than what is reported by others here.
