Nicosia, and the connections it runs on
As the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia has its own mix of connections. Nicosia is a town of about 200,000; beyond the centre, home lines get slower and mobile signal varies from place to place.
On the move from Nicosia
Heading to Larnaca (about 37 km) or Limassol (62 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Lebanon? Tripoli is about 242 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Nicosia
Can I watch my own films in Nicosia?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Nicosia or wherever you take them.

Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Greek and Turkish or any other language.
Will it work on the way to Larnaca?
Yes — the 37 km trip to Larnaca is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Can I watch my films in Lebanon?
Yes — the server stays at home in Nicosia and you watch from anywhere, including Tripoli about 242 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What does Silux Media cost in Cyprus?
Free. Running the server at home in Nicosia costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
How much mobile data does a film use in Nicosia?
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.
