Hi,
indeed replacing the original philips_tiger_pll_set() with the above one 
fixes
almost all my problems: I can tune almost every frequency used here, except
all VHF ones.
I can't even complain of poor reception quality: it seems to be almost 
as reliable as
with my Airstar2 :)

I wonder why Lifeview ships drivers with "Europa" labels in the INF 
file: initialiazing
the card as "europa" it doesn't work in linux as it doesn't work in 
windows! :)

Thanks Hartmutt and Hermann,
