Questions from Exeter
Can I watch my films in France?
Anywhere, France included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Does it work on slower connections around Exeter?
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 own films in Exeter?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Exeter or wherever you take them.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Exeter?
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.
Will it work on the way to Plymouth?
It does. Between Exeter and Plymouth (about 59 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in the United Kingdom?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in GBP on our website — never inside the apps.
