What does Silux Media cost in the United Kingdom?
Free. Running the server at home in Hull costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.

Yes — the 54 km trip to York is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Hull?
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.
