Questions from Ponce
Can I watch my films in Dominican Republic?
Anywhere, Dominican Republic included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Does it work on slower connections around Ponce?
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 Ponce?
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.
Does it support Spanish 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.
What does Silux Media cost in Puerto Rico?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Ponce?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (23:00–03:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
