Questions from Las Palmas
Does it work on slower connections around Las Palmas?
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.
Does it support Spanish and Catalan 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 Las Palmas?
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 Seville?
Yes — the 1357 km trip to Seville is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
How much mobile data does a film use in Las Palmas?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in Spain?
Free. Running the server at home in Las Palmas costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
