Questions from Kingston
Can I watch my films in Dominican Republic?
Anywhere, Dominican Republic included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What does Silux Media cost in Jamaica?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it work on slower connections around Kingston?
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.
Does it support English subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English or any other language.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Kingston?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (00:00–04:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
How much mobile data does a film use in Kingston?
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.
