Questions from Baguio
What does Silux Media cost in the Philippines?
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 support Filipino and English subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Will it work on the way to Quezon City?
It does. Between Baguio and Quezon City (about 203 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my own films in Baguio?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Baguio or wherever you take them.
Does it work on slower connections around Baguio?
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Baguio?
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.
