A small USB Video signal analog to digital converter distributed from the German discounter chain "Lidl". Vendor: TARGA GmbH, Lange Wende 41, D-59494 Soest. Artikel Nr.: 73763. SVG 2.0 A2. TARGA-Nr.1743993. GTIN (former EAN) is 4250133706645. This device has no TV nor Radio receivers.
Whether it works under Linux, is still part of analysis.

Take note: this is a new batch being sold by Lidl late 2012 called SilverCrest USB 2.0 Video Grabber SVG 2.0 A2 and looks exactly similar as the SilverCrest USB 2.0 Video Grabber VG 2000 and has the same packaging, but uses a different chipset (Conexant CX23103-11Z), identified as ID 1d19:6109 by Dexatek Technology Ltd.

Making it Work

Expecting Conexant CX2310x to work, but this is still under investigation.

Firmware

The unit does not use an loadable firmware.

Drivers

See Conexant CX2310x.

Test System

The device is connected to a multicore AMD A6-3500 system.

> uname -a
Linux media-center 3.5.0-27-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 25 19:58:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Kernel Output

The Kernel loads the newly provided drivers

> dmesg

Kernel Modules

To get the difference the lsmod was logged before and after plugging in the device, then the "diff" command creates the output.

Remains to be filled in. Currently no difference found.

Remote Control Support

There is no remote control.

Snapshot Control Support

The housing is equipped with an push bottom to initiate a video snapshot. Operating of this shows no effect in VLC application nor /var/log/messages.
