Questions from Peshawar
Does it support Urdu, English and Punjabi subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Urdu, English and Punjabi or any other language.
How much mobile data does a film use in Peshawar?
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 own films in Peshawar?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Peshawar or wherever you take them.
What does Silux Media cost in Pakistan?
Free. Running the server at home in Peshawar costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Peshawar?
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 Islamabad?
Yes — the 139 km trip to Islamabad is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
