The DVB-S 1401 is supported:

| $ grep 1401 *.c
| budget.c:       case 0x1018: // TT Budget-S-1401 (philips tda10086/philips tda8262)
| budget.c:MAKE_BUDGET_INFO(ttbs1401, "TT-Budget-S-1401 PCI", BUDGET_TT);
| budget.c:       MAKE_EXTENSION_PCI(ttbs1401, 0x13c2, 0x1018),

Simply use the budget driver.
