Thank You from BSD
10 years of BSD was only made possible by the cooperation of everyone
who sent in satellite and terrestrial channel information. 10 years of BSD
was also made possible through the partnerships with the BSD portals who
supported all of the work. A special thank you to all the hobby friends,
antenna installers, technicians, engineers and satellite and TV channel directors. BSD is especially grateful to Gilson Teles for his news and reports
in the BSD SatClub forum, to Danilo Rodrigues for the programming of the
BSD website and to all the other IT workers and to Valdecir Adorno and
Francisco Crispim for their tireless work in the BSD SatClub forum satellite
channel section.

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.

to everyone simply as Benni. 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!
