Local time in Kara is UTC+0, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (19:00–23:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.

Questions from Kara

What's the busiest time for streaming in Kara?

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.

How much mobile data does a film use in Kara?

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.

Does it support French subtitles?

Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in French or any other language.

What does Silux Media cost in Togo?

Free. Running the server at home in Kara costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.

Can I watch my films in Ghana?

Yes. Over the border in Tamale (around 223 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Kara.

Will it work on the way to Lomé?

Yes — the 381 km trip to Lomé is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
