Local time in N'Djamena is UTC+1, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (18:00–22:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.

Questions from N'Djamena
Does it support French and Arabic subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .fr.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
How much mobile data does a film use in N'Djamena?
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 Chad?
Free. Running the server at home in N'Djamena costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Will it work on the way to Moundou?
Yes — the 409 km trip to Moundou is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
What's the busiest time for streaming in N'Djamena?
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.
Can I watch my films in Niger?
Anywhere, Niger included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
