Questions from Ciudad del Este
How much mobile data does a film use in Ciudad del Este?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Can I watch my films in Brazil?
Anywhere, Brazil included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Will it work on the way to Asunción?
It does. Between Ciudad del Este and Asunción (about 302 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in Paraguay?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it work on slower connections around Ciudad del Este?
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.
Can I watch my own films in Ciudad del Este?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Ciudad del Este or wherever you take them.
