Questions from Gyumri
Will it work on the way to Yerevan?
Yes — the 89 km trip to Yerevan is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Does it work at altitude around Gyumri?
The altitude doesn't matter to the server — but mountain terrain makes mobile signal patchy, and adaptive quality keeps films playing through it.
What does Silux Media cost in Armenia?
Free. Running the server at home in Gyumri costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my own films in Gyumri?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Gyumri or wherever you take them.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Gyumri?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
Does it work on slower connections around Gyumri?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
