Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in GBP.
Will it work on the way to Leeds?
Yes. On the roughly 35 km between York and Leeds, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.

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.
Does it support English and Welsh subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .en.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
What's the busiest time for streaming in York?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in York, or 19:00–23:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
