Questions from Catania
Can I watch my own films in Catania?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Catania, elsewhere in Sicily, or abroad.
Does it support Italian subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Italian or any other language.
Will it work on the way to Palermo?
It does. Between Catania and Palermo (about 165 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in Italy?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Malta?
Yes — the server stays at home in Catania and you watch from anywhere, including Sliema about 183 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Catania?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (18:00–22:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
