Questions from Esch-sur-Alzette
Can I watch my own films in Esch-sur-Alzette?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Esch-sur-Alzette.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Esch-sur-Alzette?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Esch-sur-Alzette, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Will it work on the way to Luxembourg City?

Long winter evenings in Esch-sur-Alzette — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
