Questions from Be'er Sheva
What's the busiest time for streaming in Be'er Sheva?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (17:00–21:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Will it work on the way to Jerusalem?
It does. Between Be'er Sheva and Jerusalem (about 70 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
How much mobile data does a film use in Be'er Sheva?
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.
Can I watch my own films in Be'er Sheva?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Be'er Sheva or wherever you take them.
Can I watch my films in Jordan?
Anywhere, Jordan included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What does Silux Media cost in Israel?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
