for a start off, does:
  udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)|grep
manu

display "0x1131"  ?


also has you tried your rules at 10- istead of 55-?


I have the following in 10-locale.rules which works with my PCI WinFast
1000T

SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x14f1", KERNELS=="0000:01:06.2",
PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter201/%%s
$${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c"
