Questions from Buenos Aires
What does Silux Media cost in Argentina?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to La Plata?
It does. Between Buenos Aires and La Plata (about 52 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
How much mobile data does a film use in Buenos Aires?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Buenos Aires?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
Can I watch my own films in Buenos Aires?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Buenos Aires or wherever you take them.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Buenos Aires?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (22:00–02:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
