Questions from Dnipro
Will it work on the way to Kharkiv?
It does. Between Dnipro and Kharkiv (about 190 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it work on slower connections around Dnipro?
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.
Long winter evenings in Dnipro — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Dnipro?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (17:00–21:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
What does Silux Media cost in Ukraine?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Moldova?
Yes. Over the border in Chișinău (around 490 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Dnipro.
