Beyond Jerusalem
Heading to Tel Aviv (about 54 km) or Be'er Sheva (70 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Jordan? Amman is about 72 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Jerusalem
Does it work on slower connections around Jerusalem?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
How much mobile data does a film use in Jerusalem?
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 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.
Can I watch my own films in Jerusalem?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Jerusalem 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's the busiest time for streaming in Jerusalem?
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.
