What makes Mexico City different
As the capital of Mexico, Mexico City has its own mix of connections. Mexico City is home to about 12 million people, so evening cell traffic is heavy: exactly when a stream needs to stay smooth.
Mexico City sits at roughly 2,240 m; in mountain terrain the signal comes and goes, and adaptive streaming keeps the film going.
Travelling around Mexico
The nearest other cities we cover are Toluca (57 km), Puebla (105 km) and Querétaro (184 km). On trains, buses and roads between them, quality re-adjusts every three seconds.
Crossing into Guatemala? Quetzaltenango is about 955 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Mexico City
What's the busiest time for streaming in Mexico City?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (01:00–05:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
What does Silux Media cost in Mexico?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Guatemala?
Yes. Over the border in Quetzaltenango (around 955 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Mexico City.
Can I watch my own films in Mexico City?
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 Mexico City.
Does it work at altitude around Mexico City?
The altitude doesn't matter to the server — but mountain terrain makes mobile signal patchy, and adaptive quality keeps films playing through it.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
