Questions from Santo Domingo
Does it help on crowded city networks in Santo Domingo?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
How much mobile data does a film use in Santo Domingo?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Santo Domingo?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (23:00–03:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Can I watch my own films in Santo Domingo?
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 Santo Domingo.
What does Silux Media cost in the Dominican Republic?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
