Questions from Cochabamba
Does it work at altitude around Cochabamba?
The altitude doesn't matter to the server — but mountain terrain makes mobile signal patchy, and adaptive quality keeps films playing through it.
Does it work on slower connections around Cochabamba?
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Cochabamba?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Can I watch my own films in Cochabamba?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Cochabamba or wherever you take them.
Will it work on the way to La Paz?
Yes. On the roughly 233 km between Cochabamba and La Paz, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
