Questions from Muharraq
Can I watch my own films in Muharraq?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Muharraq, elsewhere in Bahrain, or abroad.
Can I watch my films in Saudi Arabia?
Anywhere, Saudi Arabia included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Will it work on the way to Manama?
Yes — the 4 km trip to Manama is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
How much mobile data does a film use in Muharraq?
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.
Does it support Arabic and English subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Arabic and English or any other language.
What does Silux Media cost in Bahrain?
Free. Running the server at home in Muharraq costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
