How to read Lyngsat number

Hi ya'll,
I have a Fortec Star LifeTime and when I go to Lyngsat.com to find the FTA channel I see this on T5:

12177 V tp27

But when I try to add this transponder to my receiver it asked for Stream Rate, so where can I find the SR for all channel in 12177 frequency????

(I already found out, the SR for 12177 is 2300 but just want to learn how to read Lyngsat.com numbers for future references.)

Thanks in advance for your help.

The 6th column from the left gives you the SR and the FEC; for Telstar 5 on 12,177 MHz the SR is 23,000 and the FEC is 2/3. Some receivers let you change the FEC, some don't. Just set it to AUTO if you are unsure.

From DMSI website:

Only thing not clear is PCR. More times than not the pcr is the same as vpid.
