Questions from Bălți
Long winter evenings in Bălți — 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.
Can I watch my films in Romania?
Yes — the server stays at home in Bălți and you watch from anywhere, including Iași about 71 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
How much mobile data does a film use in Bălți?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
What does Silux Media cost in Moldova?
Free. Running the server at home in Bălți costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Bălți?
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.
Will it work on the way to Chișinău?
Yes — the 109 km trip to Chișinău is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
