Questions from Montego Bay
Can I watch my own films in Montego Bay?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Montego Bay, elsewhere in Saint James Parish, or abroad.
Does it work on slower connections around Montego Bay?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Montego Bay?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
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.
Does it support English subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English or any other language.
Will it work on the way to Kingston?
Yes — the 130 km trip to Kingston is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
