ceivers can receive modes that otherwise
could only be received with much more
expensive professional receivers.” 8PSK
and 4:2:2 he points out as an example.
Sure enough, Rick was able to start a
new business with AZBox receivers: he
sells them also to uplinkers and profes-
sional users thereby saving them almost
ten times the cost of a professional box.
“Obviously, this works for only a few ap-
plications, such as, for monitoring.”
Clearly, this niche has become so large
that Rick can divide his business into
three nearly identical segments: satellite
enthusiasts (hobbyists), professional us-
ers (uplinkers) and FTA viewers (regular
viewers). Rick is happy with the way his
business has developed: “We had a 20%
increase in business in 2011 and AZ Box
was one of the major reasons for that and
we anticipate another 20% increase in
2012 with that distributed evenly across
all three business segments.”
Rick and Bobbie made the right deci-
sion 10 years ago: they converted their
hobby into a successful business. They
had to deal with a number of difficulties
but now there’s no holding back. With the
right products Ricks Satellite business
can only continue to climb upwards.
