About the fact that Sky boxes only support two symbol rates, does anyone know if this is actually a hardware limitation, or if it's merely that the software doesn't allow you to select anything else?

Yes as Sky only supports 22000 and 27500 Symbol Rates, annoying isn't it!

The hardware is capable of receiving symbol rates from 10000 to 27500+, so it's a firmware issue.
That said even if they were freed up most boxes would not be able to resolve SCPC channels such as this.

No problems, I wish I spotted it earlier though, I don't think they are showing Keeping Up Appearances at the moment, but Porridge is on at 12.30PM.
Hopefully it's still on tomorrow.
As to the symbol rates, it is a limitation imposed by Sky on the software side, maybe there may be a hardware issue, but Sky boxes are designed specifically for Sky use, non Sky receivers have no such issues/limitations but are not compatible with Sky Digital transmissions except FTA.

Thanks for pointing this out harshy. I'll see if I can find some episodes of Keeping Up Appearances in the schedules.
