Questions from León
How much mobile data does a film use in León?
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.
Will it work on the way to Managua?
Yes — the 76 km trip to Managua is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Does it work on slower connections around León?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in León?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in Nicaragua?
Free. Running the server at home in León costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my films in Honduras?
Yes. Over the border in Tegucigalpa (around 186 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in León.
