Evenings in Brno
Brno is on UTC+1 (UTC+2 in summer). The usual evening viewing hours, 19:00–23:00 local time, are 18:00–22:00 UTC in winter — when networks everywhere are busiest.
Mid-winter in Brno brings only about 8 h 12 min of daylight (against 16 h 14 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Brno
Can I watch my own films in Brno?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Brno.
What does Silux Media cost in the Czech Republic?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.
Will it work on the way to Ostrava?
Yes. On the roughly 140 km between Brno and Ostrava, 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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Brno?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Brno, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Long winter evenings in Brno — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
Does it support Czech subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Czech or any other language.
