Questions from Port Harcourt
What does Silux Media cost in Nigeria?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Owerri?
It does. Between Port Harcourt and Owerri (about 79 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Port Harcourt?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (18:00–22:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Can I watch my films in Cameroon?
Yes — the server stays at home in Port Harcourt and you watch from anywhere, including Douala about 309 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Can I watch my own films in Port Harcourt?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Port Harcourt, elsewhere in Rivers State, or abroad.
