Questions from San Juan
What does Silux Media cost in Puerto Rico?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Does it work on slower connections around San Juan?
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.
Will it work on the way to Ponce?
Yes. On the roughly 75 km between San Juan and Ponce, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
Can I watch my films in Dominican Republic?
Yes — the server stays at home in San Juan and you watch from anywhere, including Punta Cana about 243 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Does it support Spanish and English subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .sp.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
What's the busiest time for streaming in San Juan?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in San Juan, or 23:00–03:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
