- 2. COMPANY REPORT Digital TV Internet Forum BSD, Brazil New Concept at BSD The Brazilian Internet forum BSD went online for the first time in October of 2006 under the address portalbsd. com.br. The forum that deals with anything and everything related to digital reception is the brainchild of Marcos Benni who himself is a very enthusiastic DXer. We introduced you to him and his enormous 5.0-meter antenna in the 12-01/2012 issue of TELE-audiovision. A lot has happened since then and the 10th anniversary of the forum provided us with a good opportunity to find out how BSD is doing today. It turns out that Marcos Benni is working on something new and big! He moved into a brand new office and is in the process of starting a new concept in Internet business. „My idea is to introduce the products in short videos. This would make it much easier for anyone interested to see what the products are good for and where they can be used.“ To make this all as professional as possible, he set up a real TV studio in his office. At the time of our visit, everything was still under construction but by the time you read this issue of TELEaudiovision, bsdshop.com.br should be fully operational. „I will be offering all products related to digital TV, from satellite dishes, normal and fiber optic LNBs, up to cables and all varieties of receivers and satellite finders“, lists Marcos Benni known ■ Marcos Benni in his office. He enjoys reading TELEaudiovision that regularly reports on Brazilian companies - just like his own company BSD. 180 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 1 1-12/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

But Benni is also active in IPTV: „I have here an IPTV showroom where customers can see the technology live in action while I explain how it works.“ Not only that, IP Radio is also one of Benni‘s hobbies so he‘s able to offer the necessary technology to anyone who‘s interested. „Starting in October 2013 I will once again be broadcasting Radio BSD over the Internet, this time through Shoutcast.“ Benni set up everything he needs for his activities in his new 140 Sq-meter office. „With 400,000 visitors every month of which 80% are from Brazil, my forum is one of the largest in the country“, says Benni referring to portalbsd.com.br‘s impressive polling numbers. Anyone who needs digital TV information can get it from his forum. „I‘ve installed several satellite dishes here in my office that I use to watch every receivable channel as well as keep the news section in my forum up to date.“ Benni has a row of dishes ranging from 3.0-meter C-band dishes to smaller Ku-band antennas. Benni in his office is now living the dream of any satellite DXer. With his new product-videobased store he wants to take the success of his Internet forum and apply it commercially. We wish you the best of luck over the next ten years!
