Does it work on slower connections around Nampula?
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.
Does it support Portuguese subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Portuguese or any other language.
Will it work on the way to Beira?
Yes — the 705 km trip to Beira is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Nampula?
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Nampula?
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.
Can I watch my films in Malawi?
