Questions from Dundee
Will it work on the way to Edinburgh?
It does. Between Dundee and Edinburgh (about 59 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it work on slower connections around Dundee?
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.
Can I watch my films in Ireland?
Anywhere, Ireland included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Can I watch my own films in Dundee?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Dundee or wherever you take them.
How much mobile data does a film use in Dundee?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Dundee?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (19:00–23:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
