Questions from Canberra
Does it work on slower connections around Canberra?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Canberra?
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 support English subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .en.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Will it work on the way to Wollongong?
Yes — the 187 km trip to Wollongong is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
How much mobile data does a film use in Canberra?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
What does Silux Media cost in Australia?
Free. Running the server at home in Canberra costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
