Questions from Toluca
Does it work on slower connections around Toluca?
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.
Will it work on the way to Mexico City?
Yes — the 57 km trip to Mexico City is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Toluca?
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 own films in Toluca?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Toluca, elsewhere in México, or abroad.
Can I watch my films in Guatemala?
Yes. Over the border in Quetzaltenango (around 995 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Toluca.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Spanish or any other language.
