Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Daugavpils, elsewhere in Latvia, or abroad.
Can I watch my films in Lithuania?
Anywhere, Lithuania included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
